Australians have two things working against them when they import products:
1) Shipping prices
2) Duties, taxes, etc.
I ship beauty products to retailers in Australia. The cost of shipping if they choose anything other than ocean freight by the pallet load is ridiculously high. If they choose ocean freight and buy by the pallet, shipping costs per item can be mitigated thus making the cost per item less...but a lot of companies cannot afford to buy by the pallet. But those who do buy by the pallet still run into a problem. Australia has a really high import duty/tax, etc. Anything coming in valued over $1000 gets taxed hard. Those fees naturally go into the product price and the end user ends up paying for it.
Based on my limited experience in this subject matter...it's not really always the retailers who are the cause of the problem. It's your geography which makes things hard to get there, and the high taxation when they do.

I signed it. Not fair that we have to pay so much more for makeup and beauty products here - as a MUA, like most of us here, it gets ridiculously expensive! enough is enough!
