Hi everyone need a little help understanding on importing items over $1000 into Australia from the States. Since it’s my first time of a purchase this expensive. So bought books and Cassettes tapes for Teddy Ruxpin. On Monday the 8th of May it arrived in Sydney and no further details have been updated via Au Post it’s Normal Parcel Post. Since I’m in Victoria Anyway on the Pintey Bows Tracking page it says Held By Customs Import yet via Aus Post tracking page and with the number of the first 12 digits being the exact same just extended by extra 12 digits it doesn’t say anything about Customs I did reach out Au Post but they said it’s not in Customs. So of course this has me confused as hell I’ve read that items over $1000 you gotta pay some sort of fee so customs can clear it or dose eBay do this automatically upon purchase and why dose Pintey Bows and the APG sites both say held by Customs yet Not on Au post tracking could Au post be mistaken sorry if this sounds silly I just have trouble understanding all this. Also I should note my tracking on Au Post says on its way Arrived at destination Country this was the 8th in Sydney. I also should note on the eBay tracking page it says in Transit in origin country. thank you if someone has good knowledge of stuff like this if can please help that be appreciated
