Import Information for N.Z customers?Updated 5 months ago

As all goods are shipped from our Australian Warehouse, import duties and taxes may be payable on large orders.

New Zealand customs does not collect Duty and GST where the total revenue payable on  any one importation is less than $60. Therefore, generally orders under a value of approx NZ$350 won't have any payable amount upon arrival.


Example 1: (standard size order)

Goods Ordered: Cat netting: NZ$200       Duty on Netting at 5% : NZ$10       Freight: $50

Total Value $260

15% GST at $260 = $39.

As this amount is less than $60 there is no amount payable and your order will be shipped  to your door or Post Office with nothing else to pay.



Example 2: (large order)

Goods Ordered: Bird netting: NZ$406         Duty on Netting at 5% : NZ$20.30         Freight: $50

Total Value $476.30

15% GST at $476.30 = $71.45

As this amount is greater than $60 there is an amount payable to NZ Customs. You will be contacted upon the goods entering the country, and once paid the order will be released to you. There will also be an import entry transaction fee of NZ$38.07 (GST   inclusive) payable.
