this is an illegal item in Australia...

Under what circumstances is this item illegal please provide details? Can this be turned into a "cattle prod" or something? If The above post from icedvovo is correct foodland surely wouldnt be able to stock them?

I bought one in Bali and customs took ours from us. Same for our friends in WA. I was told it is considered a weapon by customs. I was told that someone has imported them and altered the voltage on them, so maybe these are ok.

I had two of these confiscated from me when I brought them in from Thailand. They were classified by Customs as a weapon ! I only paid $2.00 each.

Back in 2008 the ACCC and customs declared that these items are not prohibited. Check the notice released at http://www.customs.gov.au/webdata/resources/notices/acn0856.pdf For those bringing these back from overseas, it is always a good idea to print a copy of the notice out and keep with you for when you come back through customs. I agree that the postage cost from Ozstock is way too high, and a lot of their items can be sent for a lot cheaper. They are already charging $10 for a $2 item. They have to realise that it is not Ebay where they are making up part of their costs in the postage area to pay Ebay less commission.

Thanks guys for the information...
