Correct tariff classification affects Customs duty, import GST, statistical reporting and compliance. Cusmode Customs Brokers assists importers with New Zealand tariff and HS code review, duty rates, GST, customs valuation, origin considerations, concessions and other Customs-related questions.

A product should be classified from its actual description, composition, function and use rather than relying only on a supplier’s overseas HS code. Where you are planning an import, send us the product description, specifications, invoice and country of origin so the likely Customs treatment can be reviewed before the goods are shipped.

Duty and GST outcomes depend on the particular goods and transaction. Advice is therefore based on the information and documents available for the specific shipment.
