Prefit barrels in OZ?

Does anyone know if there is a dealer or manufacturer of prefit/prechambered barrels in Australia? Ideally I'm talking about someone like Criterion or Shilen and the Remage barrel nut system. Also, is it even possible for someone in OZ to buy a US made barrel and get it to OZ without prohibitive costs? Someone here must know all of this.

Thanks Al,
I was trying to avoid calling barrel makers for the info as I wasn't planning to spend any $$ with them and didn't care to waste their time on the phone. Thought maybe the wealth of information here might save me the effort. Looks like I'll need to make some calls. No problem. But I'll call Northland Shooter Supply first as they will certainly have the answer.

At the present neither NZ or Oz will receive USPS shipping. I have sent a couple things by UPS. I don't know about barrels as it has been a few years since I shipped them out of the country.
 
I have learned that barrels can be sent to OZ, but require an export license on this end and an import on the other. Some folks like Kelbly's and Shilen handle the export license. The recipient on the other end needs the import license. As you may imagine, this can get pricey. It seems that if the number of barrels in a shipment is high enough it will offset much of the export cost. So far I've learned that the export cost may range from $250-350. Don't know about the import cost.
More information may be forthcoming.
