Are Import Charges what eBay is calling GST or is it something different?
In the old days, you used to be able to purchase items from overseas without being charged Import Taxes / Duties if your total transactions were below a certain value.
I know we're now being charged GST and had been seeing this in transactions I'd had last year, but this is the 1st international transaction for 2021 and the first time Import Charges have been payable.

Overseas sellers and shipping agents, who are required to collect and remit GST on behalf of ATO, are permitted to charge any amount they like for doing so. These charges, additional to GST, are often just invoiced as Import charges. and has nothing to do with actual import duties.
