Under the provisions of the Postal Imports Remission Order, if someone mails you an item worth CAN$20 or less, there is no duty or tax payable. If the item is worth more than CAN$20, you must pay the applicable duty, the GST or HST, and any PST on the item's full value.
Also asked, how do I know if I have to pay custom fees?
Goods with a value of AUD1000 or less
The value of the goods and how they arrive in Australia will determine how we clear them for delivery to you and what duty, taxes and charges may apply. If these goods arrive in Australia by air or sea cargo, they must have a Self-Assessed Clearance (SAC) Declaration.
Likewise, what happens if you dont pay a customs charge? If you don't pay the customs charges, your parcel will be returned to sender after the 21-day period.

Do I have to pay custom charges from USA?
You normally have to pay VAT and import duty from USA on goods imported (i.e. from non-EU countries) when they are first brought into the EU (i.e. UK). Your goods will not be released by customs until HMRC has received your full payment of duty and VAT. Some freight forwarders take a fee for handling this payment.
