What I meant was even though I had paid GST to the UK supplier at time of purchase, AU Customs charged me 100% of the GST again, not just GST on the change in value due to the currency shift between time of purchase and it arriving at the border...

Thanks LRT.
I range Border Force today and the rep said parts + post + GST need to be under A$1000. He didn't seem confident though... I guess I'll just play it safe. Frustrating when undertaking a rebuild and you want to maximise the economy of your orders

I used to work there doing this. He’s right and I am confident.

Sometimes you get lucky and they miss things, but it’s luck.
