lock rite question

[jj big shoe]

Do you know anyone in the states you trust enough to give $400nz to?

 

The NZ Customs site says motorcycle parts are duty free. Wire the $$ to a mate in the US and have him buy the Powertrax locker and repackage it in a motorcycle clutch box. Even if the Customs officers open it, the locker looks enough like a clutch to get by easily.

A little shady, but you'll save yourself about 100 kiwis or roos or whatever you guys call money over there.

i got this back from customs

 

Thank you for your enquiry.

 

It is my view that a diff locker is free of duty.Even though the Tariff states 10% there is a concession granted by the Ministry of Econonmic Development that makes certain parts of motor vehicles free of duty.

 

Therefore GST of 12.5% is applied to the cost of the goods, insurance and freight.All figures to be converted into $NZ.

 

The minimum duty/GST total payable NZ Customs collects is $NZ50.

$394.05nz plus 12.5% = $443.25nz :cool2:
