Importing of more then $400 inclusive shipping and insurance then you need to pay GST.

If i'm not wrong, usually when you import with tracking #, those shipping company like UPS,Fedex etc will quote you the shipping cost which include insurance coverage.
Insured just incase your goods never reach you.
You need to pay GST if the amount is more then $400 base on CIF (Cost of goods,Insurance cost and Freight charges).
Above is base on my understanding, it might be wrong
