Accompanied goods concessions


 

Your personal concession allows you to bring into New Zealand duty-free goods (excluding alcohol and tobacco products) obtained overseas and/or purchased duty-free in New Zealand with a total combined value of NZ$700. Goods in excess of this value ($700) attract duty (where applicable) and GST.

The concessions apply only in respect of goods that:

  • accompany a passenger through the Customs arrival processes
  • are for the personal use of the passenger, or intended as gifts
  • are not for use in the passenger’s business or profession; and
  • are not imported for other persons at their request.
Passengers travelling together cannot combine their individual $700 concessions. Children may claim the concession provided the goods are their own property and of a type a child would reasonably expect to own and use.
