Imports over $1,000
If you import a bike and it costs $2,200 including shipping, do you pay duty on the full $2,200, or just the extra $1,200?
Also, does anyone know what the duty percentage is?

Who knows... poke around on their not-very-intuitive site. This page talks about importing by post but don't see anything that would let you calculate the cost:

Purchase Value Before Freight etc. (Customs value) = Cval
Customs duty (Duty) = 5% of Cval
International transport and insurance or postage = T&I
Value of the Taxable Importation (VoTI) = Cval+Duty+T&I
Goods and Services Tax (GST) = 10% of VoTI
Total payable to Customs = (Duty + GST)
