that the Customs Officer can arbitrarily levy a payment.
So there is no FIXED rate, but there is a discretionary rate.

The print out of any formal rate, whether related to commercial dealings or otherwise can only help in trying to "moderate" the customs officers discretionary powers.
I think that seasoned travellers know how it works.....as does the Indonesian Consulate in Perth.
