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.
Payment of Customs Charges
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.
