GST & Customs Policy
AsianFoodNZ operates in compliance with New Zealand tax and customs regulations. Please review the following details regarding GST, import duties, and proxy purchases.
1. Domestic Purchases (Within New Zealand)
All products sold and shipped directly from within New Zealand are subject to New Zealand GST (Goods and Services Tax) at 15%. GST is included in the product price unless otherwise stated.
2. Proxy Purchase Orders (Overseas Orders)
AsianFoodNZ provides a proxy purchase service to help customers buy products from overseas sellers (mainly in Korea). All imported items are purchased on behalf of customers, and the product value is considered a customer expense. GST applies only to the service fee charged by AsianFoodNZ, not to the value of the imported goods.
3. Customs & Import Threshold
For personal imports, orders with a total declared value (including shipping) under NZD $1,000 are generally exempt from GST and duty upon arrival in New Zealand. However, customs may still inspect or charge additional fees depending on product category and quantity.
4. Responsibilities
Customers are responsible for ensuring that their imported items comply with New Zealand import laws and biosecurity requirements. AsianFoodNZ is not liable for customs delays, inspections, or rejections caused by the nature of the purchased goods.
