Quote:ARE FREIGHT AND INSURANCE COSTS INCLUDED?
The Customs value does not include freight and insurance costs in transporting the goods from the ‘place of export’ to Australia.

There is no way of telling just from the outside of the package as the declaration is not on it. You would have to contact DHL directly and ask them.
I am sure they did include the total of shipping costs on to the total.

Birth certificates are not done from a central government office. They have people which are appointed as civil registrars which do things like register births, and marriages. The government pays them a salary for doing it . Each municipality will have x number of people appointed for the population size.
As customs, they give them cell phones so they can also look up item prices for duties.
