Hi,
I was unaware until someone pointed this out, but there is a separate
schedule which covers telescopes and binoculars, which indicates that
there is zero duty on these items, although you still need to pay for
GST on items over $1000. On items which attract duty, the duty is on
the cost overseas in A$. GST is on the cost + duty + transport.
Cheers

Useful information. Someone asked me about buying binoculars overseas
and I had to admit I didn't know what, if any, import or duty there
would be - does the duty free allowance apply to products purchased
and sent from overseas? From what you say it doesn't. Is the import
tax and the GST cumulative, one on top of the other, or are they
calculated separately on the purchase price?
