1486026 2022-05-04 02:18:00 I'm about to order a Uniden radio from Amazon.
Can anyone tell me the cutoff point for having to pay duty.
Looking at 2 items, one at NZ $650, another at $400.

1486029 2022-05-04 03:42:00 Too late it's done. Driftwood (5551)
1486030 2022-05-04 05:25:00 If it's under the threshold then no duty is payable but you will have to pay 15% GST on each item. chiefnz (545)
1486031 2022-05-04 23:26:00 what about gst though?

Amazon will add the gst when you pay for it

Also, some things still have duty , even if below $400 . Not many things it that category though .
Its more a tarrif on certain imports

1486032 2022-05-05 00:52:00 Ordered yesterday.
Got email today, advising delivery May 17.
That would be a new record from the US.
I'll believe that when it happens.
Still waiting for an item bought on eBay 2 months ago.

1486034 2022-05-05 02:44:00 Bet any hold up will be once it arrives in Auckland :D Lately anything ordered from Aliexpress takes 10-12 days, takes longer to get from Auckland to Wellington than to NZ.;) wainuitech (129)
