Yeah, not long ago it used to be $1000 limit for goods via post. $300 limit for all other methods.
Remember the limit includes delivery cost and is AU dollars.
Just be warying of who you use to transport your goods. Companies like Bax Global will charge you extra fees at this end even if it is less than $1000(inc delivery). They can charge valuation fee, cargo terminal fee, out of metro fee, fuel surcharge etc. If over $1000 then you also get customs clearance fee(this is on top of any actual duty or GST amounts). I had an order come in recently that was under $1000 and it cost an extra $100 in fees this end. They originally quoted $165 but I picked it up from the depot to save the rest.
