We shipped a 20' container to Queensland last year. You will be liable for GST (10%) on goods. Duty is variable depending on items, ie; we paid 5% on stone, pebbles, marble, wooden furniture, ratan. Paintings and glass free of duty. Cushions table cloths 7.5%, quilt cover 17.5%. Our shipping and insurance Cost to Brisbane was 32.663.693 rupiah. This figure includes all the Bali local handling/pick up charges etc. From Brisbane we incurred further fees with customs/broker $1734 AUD. Hope this helps. Happy shopping/shippping.
P.S. We used Pal Cargo, Putu, they were excellent, included in their cost was a 6 day shopping with car and driver.
