yes, that has 10yuan…which means coin has numismatic value. If yours panda coins were already here when you bought them..yes, you’d be GST-free…
why did they come in a FedEX parcel? From overseas? thus…categoried as import.

I last used it in September 22. It was actually sent to me by a FedEx tax agent for signature and return, but going by this thread they've changed policies
This is still a tax based comment but going off topic a bit..sorry.
I'll be heading back to Ireland / England soon and was interested in picking up Silver on my travels.
You're changed 20% VAT (gst) on Silver but it was my understanding you can claim it back when leaving the Country.
Had a look at the appropriate tax website which unfortunately states....

You cannot get a VAT refund for:
- most mail order goods, including internet sales, delivered outside of Northern Ireland
- goods you’ve already used in Northern Ireland or the EU, such as perfume
- service charges, such as hotel bills
- new or used cars
- goods exported for business purposes where you need to make a customs declaration
- goods to be exported as freight
- goods that need an export licence (except antiques)
- unmounted gemstones
- gold or silver over 125g, 2.75 troy ounces or 10 tolas
- a boat you plan to sail to a destination outside the UK or the EU.
Strangely, why VAT on GOLD in UK? Limit to 2.75 OZ!This is still a tax based comment but going off topic a bit..sorry.

Looks like I'll be restricted to buying from Shady Shamus at the back of the pub

There was an advantage of buying from overseas, but it is no more now....

only those items that you couldn’t get here..

Is that numismatic value, or does it only indicate the coin is considered legal tender in the country of issue?
Because if it counts as numismatic then those old milky 2016 roos and maples which sell for not much over spot would be GST applicable as well...
I think it's all pretty obviously just a cash-grab on the part of FedEx, so as much as possible, it's a call for people to avoid using them as the courier service.
those coins/bars are already in AUS, thus, no extra GST is to be applied …CCS thread talking about IMPORTing coins from overseas, which have numismatic value, ie. yuan (or USD or whatever you wanna call it), and even you bought some AUS kangas/koalas/emus/crocs/etc/etc from overseas dealers..these are subject to GST
if you’re being charged on GST on top of your purchase price for .999+ fineness in AUS, then you’re being conned…

Got an import duty/tax from Fedex 
. Big lesson learned, I was charged $280 never purchase from overseas again. Due to work, I simply do not have the time to fight for this. I was so tempted to not pay, let Fedex return to the sender and asked them to resend using UPS instead
