I've successfully imported lasers above 1mW.
I did it through rayfoss and o-like, and got the tailcap and batteries shipped separately.

If they cant test them, i dont think they can legally seize them.

Probably dont try to get lasers in... learn about the hobby abit, then buy the individual parts or modules and build them yrself! Customs are pretty good at their job!
Haha that would be the smart option. But if i tried to get a 1mW laser in and it was seized what would be the worst thing that would happen?
Just a heads up, Customs do have a laser power meter, so if they find it, and it's over 1mW, don't expect to receive it!
If they take it, they usually just send on a note saying it was taken, they don't usually take any action unless you are a repeat offender, or it's something serious like explosives.

i have spoken with many people who do as axit says and get the batteries+tailcap seperately.
That way even if they had batteries they would have no tailcap/switch to operate it.
btw my o-like laser came with a warning sticker on with multiple strengths on it without the correct one marked, i think this is another way of trying to disguise the fact that it is a 200mw laser.

the best bet for a high powered greenie in to aus is to buy a green module from olike then buy a host and batteries from a member here.

1mW is practically nothing. If you buy a module, not a complete laser, it shouldn't get seized because it is not technically a laser pointer yet. It's just one component.
Then you can buy a host for the module separately and build it yourself.
O-like modules:
Green laser : Welcome to O-Like.com, Your source for laser products
You can get a host for the O-like modules here:
http://laserpointerforums.com/f64/fs-diy-green-kit-host-heatsink-easy-assembly-22520.html
or you can have Ehgemus make you a custom host for the O-like modules.

I have a Ehgemus laser and they are beautifly machined and for a great price!

green and 4narchy, www.o-like.com will ship how ever you want, but you must contact susie first. there will be a minor fee incurred though.
