Yes have imported stuff post 1/07/2018.
1. Merchant does not charge GST, and it came through just fine via Australia Post locally (typically low cost parcel under $500). We've done this many times which suggests the Federal governments "law" is quite simply broken as the government has no authority over foreign merchants and no ability to enforce it.
2. The couriers (UPS and FEDEX) handle the GST and you must pay online before they will deliver the item to you. When the item was several thousand $$$ they did this. When the item was under $1500 they didn't and I can't blame them as the paperwork isn't worth someones time to fill out for the customs declaration.
This may, or may not happen; it doesn't appear to be consistent.
