If you are asking about the international shipping process for getting your generator to your son, there are a few things you'll need to look into before sending it on its way.
First, you should most certainly research the specific shipping rules and regulations when it comes to importing anything into Australia. In some countries, various tools, electronics, motorized parts, etc. are not eligible for importation. In other cases, these items are allowed, but are heavily taxed.
You should also keep in mind that customs regulations are subject to change at any time without notice, so you may want to contact a customs broker to get more information before you move forward.
Cost of shipping
The cost of shipping packages or large items internationally will vary based on the destination country, the weight/size of the item and the mode of transportation. Some countries will have higher duties than others on certain items, so you'll definitely want to consider the original cost of the item and whether it is worth it to ship. You may want to contact an international moving company to get more information about the shipping process and what your best option will be.
