I got the same exemption when I bought my Santa Cruz Otis Taylor Signature last year. But in terms of paper work, it was done the other way round. I paid a customs broker to have my SCGC released quickly and the FTA paperwork was included as part of the service. Eventhough I paid about AUD55 for the service, I still saved about AUD150 (but that only works out better if the instrument is of high value).
