Hi Bruce, the extra charges were made up of GST (Goods & Services Tax) which was not only applied to the cost of purchasing the tyres but also the airfreight cost. A charge of $150 was made for a quarantine inspection which also required returning to the airport the next day as it couldn't be done at short notice and had to be scheduled in. Qantas charged a $90 handling fee and could have charged demurrage but didn't.
There were other lesser costs that I can't recall now but i remember the total.
