I have have never paid any additional charges to the Post Office when I collected my parcels from Indonesia. My parcels are marked personal effects. I do not bring any goods for sale back from Indonesia.
I once made the mistake of sending 25 kg of things back from PNG as unaccompanied baggage. There were so many additional charges that it would have been cheaper to bring my things home as excess baggage.
As well the unaccompanied baggage arrived two weeks after I arrived back in Australia.
