How New Zealand import charges work

Value of the goods	What you pay
NZ$1,000 or less	15% GST charged by the overseas seller at checkout. No duty.
Over NZ$1,000	Duty (0% to 10%) on the goods, then 15% GST on the goods plus duty, shipping and insurance, plus the import entry transaction fee and biosecurity levy. Customs doesn't collect it if duty and GST together are under NZ$60.

Typical duty rates: clothing and shoes 10%, many other goods 5%, and 0% on phones, laptops, toys and books. Goods from a free trade partner are usually 0%. Check your code in the Working Tariff Document.
