Freed trade less duty?

From a site that calculates duty and taxes etc.
If this site is correct then all we pay is GST
Not one hundred percent convinced
I added no freight as this item is free postage

While chasing up importing a sewing machine from China I was told by a broker that the sewing machine is duty free, I will only pay GST. He also mentioned that we have a free trade deal with China but I don't know if these two things are connected.

What about custom fees or excise?

There will be customs fees, plus assorted other charges for anyone who handles it along the way! Such as paperwork charges for the airline and agents who move it, actual shipping fees and more. I lost count after the broker got to three charges.


It's still going to be at least $1,000 cheaper than buying it here.
