Would anyone here know the actual rates of import duty for aircraft, if any? I have looked through Customs, but seems hidden.

TIA

edit:
I found it. Apparently there is none (Chapter 88, Customs Tariff). Does anyone have experience otherwise?

SC:

As a signatory of the WTO, Australia does not charge an "Import Duty" per say on aircraft or aircraft parts.

However, GST will be imposed at the point of entry either ferry or containerised.

A Customs Agent will sort out all the mystery for a small fee (was a few hundred years ago). Better than having an aircraft locked up at Lord Howe or Sydney Docks waiting for paperwork!.
