iirc, if a single item exceeds the allowance , then duty is payable on the entire value, not just an exces over $900

It is not a scheme to just help avoidance of GST

If taking out an item of value of $900 or less, then can claim the GST back and as long as do not return with goods with value over $900 ( including that item ) then no issue
Important to note that it's value that the duty is paid on, not the price paid, and goods drop in clue when used.
