It really depends on what items you plan to import. Some items are duty-free, such as photographic equipment and supplies, whereas others are liable to a large import tax. Usually any personal purchases under twenty dollars can be imported duty-free, and gifts brought into the ountry to be left that have a value of sixty dollars or less will not be liable for duty. There are some tricky discrepancies that should be noted too, such as most loose gemstones are not subject to duty, but finished jewellery is. Because these and all other regulations are liable to change at any time, your best bet is to contact border services in advance of your arrival in the country, or, if you are importing by post, in advance of your purchase. You can receive detailed and up to date information on what items are subject to importation duty, and how much you can expect to be charged.
