Man,
I'm not sure if anything got clarified here! But it was interesting to read neverless !
One thing I would do is ring up Fed Ex, then UPS, Customs, jot down the information. Wait a few hours or a few days then ring back asking the same question. I could almost assure you that you will be told a different story.
Even then, I would allow for a $500 variance or worst case scenario on top of everything else you pay, that way you won't get a rude shock later on.

So... let's say I was thinking of buying a 10" LX200R from OPT in the US.
Right now, they're offering these at around $3600 US. That works out to about $4780 Oz... before you add shipping charges etc
By comparison, Bintel has them listed for $6150.
With all the import charges and duties, would it work out cheaper to buy OS or here?

I could be wrong, lets say $4780 + ~$800AU (shipping) + 15% (GST & S/Duty)
That would total about $6300AU.
