Why would there be a penalty ? it could be a present from overseas relatives that you personally know nothing about until it shows up at the local post office and you get a little card telling you there is a parcel to collect.
I've never been charged GST or import duties on stuff I have imported by parcel post. If the person at the desk doesn't ask me for these , I wont ask about it.
I'm on very friemdly terms with the guy at the local postal agency , that helps too .
