Duty Free Stores
Duty free stores are stores which may, under certain conditions, be shipped from New Zealand free of Customs duty.
Prior to departure, you can arrange for duty free stores through a duty free business which must submit a
requisition form to the New Zealand Customs Service no later than 12 hours prior to departure for approval.
Any duty free stores purchased and receipts must be available for inspection by a Customs officer at the time of your departure.
Ships stores are any goods (including tobacco and alcohol) for use or consumption on board a craft by passengers or crew, or for the service of a craft.
Stores may be shipped duty free under the condition that they shall be entered for export and therefore they cannot be removed from the craft prior to its departure.
The issue will be in line with the quantities approved by New Zealand Customs, and shall have regard to the number of passengers, crew and to the length of the stay of the craft in New Zealand.
