Yet another Epic Pine Store fail

[KNERD]

Ordered a Mobian edition the other day, I really hope Pine64 are NOT going to incorrectly include the shipping cost with the item value when sending to Australia.  Per our import law:

ARE FREIGHT AND INSURANCE COSTS INCLUDED?
The Customs value does not include freight and insurance costs in transporting the goods from the ‘place of export’ to Australia.

</2 cents>

There is no way of telling just from the outside of the package as the declaration is not on it. You would have to contact DHL directly and ask them.
I am sure they did include the total of shipping costs on to the total.

The Mexican government is very modern in these regards.  They seem to do a lot of things online.  I was surprised ten years ago or so when a coworker requested his wife's birth certificate; and they emailed it to him.

Birth certificates are not done from a central government office. They have people which are appointed as civil registrars which do things like register births, and marriages. The government pays them a salary for doing it . Each municipality will have x number of people appointed for the population size.

As customs, they give them cell phones so they can also look up item prices for duties.
