Does anyone happen to know how customs duty works on goods being imported that are valued over $1000?

Its pretty easy, they send you/ your agent the bill and you pay it. FOr automotive the tarrif is about 15% i think.

That 1000 limit includes the shipping costs.

Example
goods 900
shipping 200 (sub 1100)
duty (15% for car bits) ~ 165 (sub 1265)
GST ~ 126.5 (1391.5)

Hope that helps.  My experience isn't with car imports, but with bicycle part imports (5% duty).

Cheers
Darryl

How nice of our government to double tax us. First impose a duty and then tax us on it as well.
Car parts 15%, bike parts 5%, garments 17.5%. Sh1ts me I have to pay 17.5% and then GST on top.
