But in AUS the distributor is also responsible for the safety and warranty of the product?
Yes, but:
Safety: for small stuff, really no safety concerns, and with the amount of recalls, not really any better.
Warrenty: when the price is half or less, easier to just buy 2.
So for larger more expensive items, local makes sense somewhat, but for small crap, better to just get from aliexpress.
Which is really annoying, because individually shipping every little trinket is crazy wasteful.
