Not another "OS purchase advice" and tax

Next silly question for the day (or night)!

If i purchased a telescope OS (lets say in HK)and brought it back with me is duty "free" still limited to the magic $1000 limit? After that duty is due and taxes.

Maybe I can separate the scope into packaged boxes (one for tripod, one for OTA... you get the drift) so that other family members each possess a packaged item of less than $1000 AUD?

Anyone wise enough to set me straight on this?

Thanks in advance
