Default Cost of importing guitars from USA to Australia

Hi guys, I was just wondering if some of you guys are familiar with the charges associated with importing guitars into Australia - particularly Australians with that experience.

I know we have an exemption from duty because of our free trade agreement with the US, so payment of our normal 10% tax is applicable. But I was also wondering if you guys had to pay additional fees as well - ie. AQIS fees for inspection of item because its made out of wood.

THis is assuming that the shipping is done through USPS.

Regards.

Its doing my head in!
