Any advice on importing furniture from Indonesia?

I'm living in Indonesia and planning to move back to Australia soon. Having noticed that furniture is much cheaper here than back home, I was thinking of starting a bit of an import business. How would I get buyers in Australia? What costs do I need to be aware of other than the cost of the furniture, shipping, and storage - I assume there are some taxes involved, but not sure what they are.

1. You need to ship items in bulk to save on shipping costs because they are so outrageous. Sometimes the taxes are so high they make it so your profit is so little that its almost not worth the trouble to import.
