Hi I recently imported gear from the US:
I shipped a crate motor + Parts from the USA parts and thee is definitely GST on > $1000. There is less duty on USA items. For a spend of 19k USD there was 3400 AUD import duty fee including GST and custom clearance fees etc. There may be a fee for leaving USA as well of about $300.

So yes they get you again...
