453 grams is approximate equivalent to 1LB (or 16 ounces) a US weight standard.

I wonder how they came up with 453grams - doesn't seem to be much logic in
that.

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
