** Was never my intention to insult or make an enemy of you, David.
But rather to get your ATTENTION and make you realise that you have NOT done your homework re what has long been the LAW relating to importing electrical / electronic items into Australia for resale.
A few minutes on Google turned up the page listed below from Australian state bodies that regulate the sale of electrical goods.
They all say the same thing - the sale of imported appliances appearing on the " Prescribed Items " ( aka Declared Items) list is * ILLEGAL * without the importer first obtaining the required approval certificate from the relevant state body.
Detachable AC power leads that come with practically every item of mains powered electronics these days ARE prescribed items - the whole lot of them. In the regulations, they are generally called " Supply Flexible Cords".
Here is some reading for you and others:
Standard practice to avoid the absurd hassle of getting each and every AC cord approved yourself - is to DITCH and destroy any non-Australian approved AC supply cord that arrives packed with imported items and replace it with one from a * known supplier* that has the required approvals and markings applied already.
Eg; the Q1803 single channel CRO I bought from DSE a while back came packed with an approved 1.8M long IEC lead - made in China but approved by the Queensland authority.
The IEC female carries no: Q03584 The 3-core cable carries no: Q03403 The Aussie plug carries no: Q03586
The cable is further labelled as " 3 x 0.75 sq mm " and checks out OK on that with 45 milliohms resistance per conductor.
A similar IEC that cord came packed with my Rigol CRO (direct from China) has no such markings and it not legal to sell here despite it checking out OK.
