Import/shipping costs

OK. I'm officially confused

Sorry to ask a question that I'm sure has been answered a few times before during the lifespan of this website.

I'm trying to work out what the final cost will be on getting an OTA over from the US and the more I read the more fuddle-headed I get

For the sake of the exercise, let's say I'm spending $2700AUS on this item.

Let's say shipping is going to cost around $500AUS.

So, when it lobs into Aus and it's at customs, do I end up paying 10% on the original $2700 or on a combined ($2700+$500) $3200??? That would add (10%) $320, bringing my total spend to $3520???

Seems a bit wrong to include the shipping cost in the value of the item, which in reality is $2700.

Have I got this right?
