I am just wondering whether anyone knows roughly the maximum value of items that can be imported into New Zealand without incurring any taxes? The customs website is not very clear on this.
It's about 1000 in Aus, and I would imagine it being close, but I would just give them a quick call to confirm the exact amount if the info is a little obscure on the site.
Just checked the Salehoo Bonus Shipping Guide, it does say $500 for NZ and $1000 for AUS. I really should have checked that before posting but no worries.
No problem, also check out Link hidden: Login to view this is more detailed and outlines other taxes you might have to pay especially when importing domestically produced items :)
Cheers - this one states that goods which attract only GST can be imported to a maximum value of $399 inc. freight before the 'revenue collection threshold is crossed.' However the threshold for clothing, footwear and other dutiable goods is much lower.
At the moment I am only looking to import small amounts at a time so hopefully this won't be a problem.
Ohk - thanks for your information. I am currently importing clothes but am keeping the total value of each shipment very low due to the threshold for domestically produced items being less than $500.
Hi, I just wonder where do you get the info about NZ$ 500? I checked at the customs website and it states NZ$50? Please help clarify this issue. Thanks
