15% duty + 10%GST on new parts I think.
Spyder-WISD 07-09-05 11.6s @ 125 MPH
Speedster-WISD Nats 05 14.4s @ 89 MPH
Jet cruiser-Coogee 22-09-05 900 deg C @ 110,000 rpm

In my experience it seems that if the parts declared value is under around US$150 I haven't been hit with duty. Above that (not sure of exact
amount) and I've been stung (15% + GST). It helps to have a friend who can send it over with a "revised" declared value

Thanks guys, I'll see if I can get a doctored invoice sent with the parts, otherwise I'll cop the extra. I'm spending about $700 AUS
including shipping, do they charge duty on the shipping cost or just GST??

I believe it is duty first then gst on the landed price
IF the combined value is under $50 it is waived
I think there is also a clause where a 30 yr old car doesnt attract duty
Futue te ipsum!!!

Dasdubber mantioned $150.
I'm curious because I was considering importing a couple of wheels ; $110 US
could always cook the docket I suppose.

If you want to ask specific questions and get the correct information it is best to get it from Customs, just send them an Email and they will tell
you what the regulations are and what you want to know.

Customs help line told me 15% duty+10%GST
on all imports.
the GST is apparently levied on the freight component also, would you believe??
