Those rates are for business import, you don't usually pay for personal items.
If you buy many items (like 10 or a dozen of the same item), or buy many items of the same thing weekly, you can't convince them it's personal.
If you're buying many cameras, they would charge you.
If you're buying a camera every week, they would charge you.
But there's no duty for personal use.
