If it's over $1000 and they catch it in customs you'll get charged GST 10% and Import duty about 5%. Sometimes you can get lucky and the items will slip through but not usual if being brought in by the major freight companies. They are obligated to collect the GST. If your item gets stopped by customs be prepared to go searching the Tariff list on the Gov web pages, prob section 3. I just got charged for pistons, rings and lifters + postage came to $1500us. Ended up paying another $400. Gst ,duty and $90 customs fee for paperwork that the computer does. Summit will take the GST out already.
