Hi Alex,
The price of the goods is referred to as the "custom's value".
If the customs value is below $1000, no GST is payable.
If the custom's value is $1000 or more, the GST payable is 10% of the
value of the taxable importation.
The value of taxable importation is the sum of:
•the customs value of the goods
•any customs duty payable
•the amount paid or payable to transport the goods to their place of consignment in Australia
•the insurance cost for that transport
