Import Tax Question

Hi all,
40D has been modded by Peter tan in Hong Kong.
In order to insure it for its return journey, the value of the item and description has to be declared to Hong kong post.

Peter has said that I may be slugged for import tax due to the high insured/declared cost of the camera. Camera insured for $7380HK which is just under $1000AU

Does anyone have any ideas or experiences in this area!!?? Any ideas as to costs involved?

I can't find any specific information online.

I have all sales receipts proving that the camera was purchased in Oz, and Peter will include documentation to verify that the mod was performed on a user-supplied camera.

Cheers
Doug
