If the package requires further inspection or duty/tax assessment, it will be held for further review.

and

Customs duties and taxes are charges placed on certain products being imported into your country. It is recommended to check your country's customs import policy to see if the contents of your package are exempt or liable for duties and/or taxes upon being imported.

Will i need to pay any duties or taxes for delivery to australia?

The reason why this is so vague, is because every country has different duty and tax laws when importing via mail. Some places even have varying amounts depending on what part of the country you reside.

Your country should have a government website that will tell you if what you are buying is taxable or not when imported by mail. Then look to see if there are any exemptions.

SCS puts the total cost of the items before shipping on the package, so that is what determines the value of the package. Also in the SCS checkout, some of the more expensive shipping options have the Duty and Taxes in the shipping cost. It will tell you the break down of how much is duty/taxes, and how much is shipping. You'll need to put in your address to see these options.

Sorry I couldn't be more help, I have no knowledge of taxes and duty in Australia, but I just had to go through the same thing for shipping to Canada with SCS.
