The New Zealand Customs allowances
When entering New Zealand you are entitled to a personal goods concession. This allows you to bring in goods free of duty (excluding alcohol and tobacco products) obtained overseas and/or purchased duty free in New Zealand, which have a total combined value of NZ$700. If the value of your goods is over NZ$700 then they may attract Customs duty and goods and services tax (GST).
On entering New Zealand you are entitled to bring in the following quantities of alcohol products free of Customs duty, provided that you are over 17 years of age* and that the goods:
- Accompany you through the Customs arrival process.
- Are for your own personal use, or intended as gifts.
- Are not carried on behalf of another person.
- Are not intended for sale or exchange.
If the above is applicable the following amounts are allowed duty free:
| Cigarettes, cigars, tobacco |
|
| Alcoholic beverages |
|
More information is available on the New Zealand Customs site at www.customs.govt.nz or phone +64 9 275 9059.
Convenient duty and tax free options
There are a number of ways you can take advantage of duty and tax free shopping at Auckland Airport, for example:
- Buy duty free items online with The Mall or from one of the many duty free retailers located throughout NZ licensed to sell tax and duty free products and collect them at our Collection Point.
- Select duty free items as you leave Auckland, and pick them up on your return. This is much easier than carrying goods throughout your journey!
