Steve the limit was put in place for private courier's.
What they were saying is use goverment run postal service we will give you up to $1000 of goods custom free but over $500 will still attract GST...use a privately run express courier your limit is $250 before the approx $50 custom fee is introduced...tax was still payed on goods valued over $500 same as goverment run postal service.
Now with $1000 custom free and tax free is a big benifit to all of us importing.
Your right the express or not does not come into the equation...it's still being imported into the country.
