It's the same as before. I have not seen anyone get a package withheld by customs pending GST+duty collection <$1000. It very clearly says that:

Quote:
For goods with a value of AUD1000 or less, there are generally no duties, taxes or charges to pay at the border.
However, From 1 July 2018, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) may be collected by overseas vendors of such low value goods when imported from overseas by consumers in Australia. GST will be charged at the point of sale and not at the border.
You can most certainly calculate duties and GST. Fees are carrier dependent and largely based around holding the item before releasing it to you and sending an invoice. Ie, sfa.

I've been ordering heaps of stuff from vendors that do not collect GST for the govco, nothing's changed between now and 5 years ago personally. YMMV.
