It should effect you if you order now, but it depends I think more on the knowledge or confusion of the carrier it lands with rather than customs. You shoulndt need to pay anything now, especially to the store (I assume you mean overseas online store). When it lands in the country that is likely to be the date they'll take to charge the tax ("they" being the local carrier who takes charge from the incoming freight point). Don't assume the government will be kind and say you ordered it before this date so we'll let you off, our gov doesnt ever do that, ever. Tyically when I ve been hit its been withe a fedex delivery and they contacted me saying my package is being held until payment of $X for Y reason. So I assume the same , it'll get held and you'll get a mobile call to pay the tax. get ready for new scams to make the rounds and delivery systems to become clogged with held items or most likely they get returned to sender if you can't be reached by phone immediately. (or the person can't be bothered trying to contact you just like delivery drivers often just bring a card to your door and dont try knocking to see if your home. Riots will hopefully ensue.
