Does anyone know Australian import duty limit?

Options
I sold something a few days ago and my DH posted it and did the customs form. The actual value was £10 but he put £15-20, I'm slightly concerned they will have to pay import duty..

    You could have a look on Australian cuatoms http://www.customs.gov.au/ . The value on a declared item should also include the postage cost so depending your other half may be correct.

    brilliant thanks, seems they have better duties than we do -
    Goods with a declared or assessed value not exceeding A$1,000

    If your goods arrive in Australia by mail and have a declared or assessed value of A$1,000 or less, the goods may be imported free of duty, taxes and Customs and Border Protection charges, unless they are alcohol products or tobacco products. Apart from alcohol and tobacco products those goods will be cleared by Customs and Border Protection and delivered by Australia Post without you doing anything.
