Calculation of Customs Charges

In addition to the payment of duty and GST, an import transaction fee of $18 (GST inclusive) may apply. The fee is payable at the same time that duty and GST is collected.

Payments will only be accepted in New Zealand currency. Travellers may pay Customs charges at international airports using any of the following:

  • American Express
  • Bankcard
  • Diners Club
  • EFTPOS

If the total amount owing is less than $50 for any goods imported in excess of the allowances for alcohol and/or accompanied goods, no revenue collection will be made. This revenue waiver does not apply to tobacco products.
