Import tax in australia?

Question

i am buying something off ebay from the sates ($130 USD) $138 AUD

can anyone give me a rough estimate of how much the import tax would be

would it be <$50 ??

Answer 1

Customs duty should be nil. Duty is only charged on goods worth more than $1000 (not what it cost you but what its value is) and if the intended use is for business so you should be okay. The current freetrade agreement with the US would likely exempt even if your item was over $1000.
