I haven't imported any scope but I'm buying a lot from overseas (even after 1/7/2018). So I had cases:
1) Merchant charges GST at the moment of purchase (eBay and some other big sellers).
2) Merchant doesn't charges GST at the moment of purchase (e.g. B&H). Purchased binoculars and camera lenses ($500 - $900 USD price). No issues at the custom etc at all. Nobody asked for anything.
GST is standard 10%. So if the price is $700 AUD then in the worst case if they caught you then you have to pay $70 for GST max.
