It's also interesting that the set of cards is considered a single item, unless again the rules as cited are still too arbitrarily worded.

The govt site does not say anything about single items, only the generic term 'goods' is used

i haven't looked closely, but i can see them applying the tax to the sum value of all goods brought in.
