< p > it is understood that Australian consumers pay more than 35% of the difference in international fashion brands such as Gap, Zara and Topshop when compared with overseas consumers.

The sample survey of Fairfax Media (P Fairfax) shows that the prices of these international famous retail stores in Australia are far from the price of the same fashion in their official online stores.

< p > ASOS, a famous British fashion store, has opened an Australian website since 2012 to provide fashion for Australians.

However, Fairfax media reporters found that the same a target= "_blank" href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" > clothes < /a > sold on the ASOS Australian website at a price of 16 Australian dollars above the US or British official website.

< p > besides, the Gap of the American fashion store has a solid store in Chadstone in Melbourne. The store sells the brand Essential Essential Crew T-shirt to 24.95 Australian dollars, while the same T-shirt sells only 16 Australian dollars on the official website of London. The difference is about 36%.

Topshop, a famous British shop in Melbourne, charges 26 Australian dollars for a short sleeved top dress sold at South Yarra in the UK, while the price in the UK official website is only 18.60 Australian dollars, and the difference between the two is 28%.

In the Zara brand store, a sleeveless top is sold for 29.95 Australian dollars in Australia, but it sells for only 22 dollars in the US official website, and the difference between the two is 26%.

< p > however, the international a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_s.asp" > the famous brand store < /a > refutes this. They claim that the tax, freight and labor cost in Australia have caused the difference.

A spokeswoman for OrotonGroup, who owns the Gap store in Australia, said: "not just Gap, all international brands should take into account the import duties, taxes everywhere, operating costs everywhere, and the cost and exchange rate of products when they enter the Australian market."
