Import duty is payable if the purchase cost in AU dollars is $1000 or more. Duty is 5% of purchase price. GST is 10% of purchase price + freight + duty payable. Works out to be just slightly more than 15%.
Example you bought an item for $1100. Shipping cost $200.
Custom Duty Payable is 5% of $1100 = $55
GST payable is 10% of $(1100+200+55)=$135.50
Total is duty + GST = $55+$135.50 = $190.50
You pay at the post office $190.50 to collect your goods.
If cost of Item is less than AU $1000 , there is no import charges.
I am not really fussed about the idea of paying gst on the freight charges and the duty payable, but thats our govt collecting revenue for ya.
You wont be charged any import duty for a powercommander.
O yea , if ya have several packages arrive at customs at the same time, they combine all of them to evaluate the import duty.
