Are there import duties and other charges when buying parts from overseas?

[richardcwc]

I'm looking to buy new 17" wheels for my 06 Honda Civic.

I've found some from an online store (http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/), and I think they're based in the USA.

Are there any import duties and other charges if I buy them and have them ship to me (Australia/Brisbane)?

Anything else that I should worry about / be aware of?

Thanks.

I thought there will be 10% GST or more when you buy something over $1000 from overseas.

yes if You let the custom know it's over 1000 worth value,lol

[J-Spec23]

if by air then no
if by shipping then yes.

[ITRDC2]

no,if the actual value is over 1000 aud,and the sender put that actual value on the shipment sheet,you will get into trouble,cuz the custom will call u to pay for the tax before u can get ur item back

Under the ATA Convention, should you under-declare the value, you are liable for penalties which might include seizure or confiscation of the goods

What if I don't declare (mis-declare) the actual value of my goods?
If you don't declare the value of your goods correctly (i.e. that the goods are truthfully valued at AUD$1000 or under) and you are caught you could be charged and penalities include fines and jail.
