Australians won't be able to buy items from Amazon's US online store as the e-commerce giant prepares for new online goods tax laws.


Amazon is set to block Australian consumers from buying products from its overseas e-commerce sites in response to the nation's good and services tax changes.

Shoppers visiting the US store Amazon.com and the online behemoth's other overseas sites will be redirected to Amazon.com.au from July 1.
