It's an additional surcharge for packages into America. In Australia, it's 
au$9.50 for parcels over 453gms (16 ounces/1lb).

It is being charged by the US government to Australia Post (and now it seems 
Japan and Serbia) to cover the supposed security checking now required by the 
US postal service. In Australia, this is being passed on to Australia Post 
customers, but not iof you have an Australia Post account. The resason for the 
latter is pretty simple. With AP charges already being through the roof, 
regular shippers would simply use one of the several international couriers, 
all of which provide far speedier services than AP and for not much more.

In other words, the US government is taxing other countries for their own 
internal services. Pretty good trick if you can get away with it.

I wonder how the US government (and MOPO members) might respond if other 
countries tried this ploy on the US?

  I combine shipping too, but... From Nov.17th there is some rule that max 
weight of package (from Serbia to USA) must be 453 grams. So in case that 
weight will be over 453 grams then I must to send in more than one package. 

  I saw that Post offices from Japan and Australia have same rule for weight of 
package to USA.

  Regards!

    We always combine shipping. I thought most civilised dealers did?

      I purchased some stills from a seller over a week or so with the intent 
of getting them all sent in the same package and combining shipping. They now 
tell me that they won't combine items that are sold on different days. So, 
today, I have had to made two separate payments with two separate shipping 
costs for 3 stills that could easily have been sent in one package. This seems 
to me to be incredibly inflexible but I wondered if any of you have had similar 
experiences. A great many of my customers take a couple of weeks or more to pay 
so they can pick up more items and save on postage and I dont have any problems 
with that.

      Regards

      John
