New import transaction fee
Written by Nathan in Top Seller at 11:49pm, Sat 19 Jun 2010
Since plenty of Trade Me members are importing all sorts of wonderful (and occasionally weird) things to be sold, we thought we'd pass on some information about an upcoming change to the fees charged by Customs on new imports.
From 1 July 2010, a new import transaction fee of $24.75 ($22.00 plus GST) will be applied to a range of personal imports that attract GST and import duty of $50 or more. This would include items such as jewellery, clothing and electrical appliances.
There will also be a new MAF biosecurity system entry levy of $12.50 (including GST) charged whenever the import transaction fee applies.
For more information on the new fee and the new levy, check out Consumer or New Zealand Customs.
