Netshroud Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I didn't bother with customs, and just ordered one off ebay. I can't see anything illegal with it, you can import routers from other brands just fine. You'll need to watch out for the power cable though, you need to solder the connector to an Australian power pack with the right voltage/current. Or buy a US->AU converter (that also converts voltage) for about AU$50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netshroud Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I doubt it makes a difference, but I just realized that I imported a Fon+, not a Pineapple. Technically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okiwan Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 im no expert an i dont live there, but i dont think it should be a problem. customs wont even know what it is. although...in the US when getting something from overseas there is a plastic bag attached to the outside of the package. inside that is a paper that explains what is in the package so customs can read it. i ordered illegal alcohol from overseas before and the company just listed that it was collectors glassware on the package and wrote that it costed like $5. when in reality i paid a few hundred. so maybe you can request hak5 list that its a regular open mesh router and that its $30.

Gate7 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Not sure if you got one yet but I'm from Australia and I just received it in the mail today with no problems. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snubs Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I've shipped plenty of Wifi Pineapples to Australia with no problem. They do go through customs, but we chop down the price so you dont pay a huge ton when it gets there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
