Category of passenger quota

If the articles carried by inbound passengers are used for commercial purposes or exceed the duty-free quota, they must declare and pay customs duties and goods and services taxes.

1, personal belongings for personal use

-For personal use only and not for resale;

Guide to tariff calculation and tax rate

I believe many passengers are interested to know how much duty they have to pay on goods and services once the goods they carry exceed the customs quota.

How to calculate the duty payable?

The customs calculates tariffs according to the transaction price of the goods. The transaction price of an item is the real purchase price paid by the owner. If the goods carried by passengers are donated by others, so the purchase price is unknown, customs officials will decide the taxable value of these goods by themselves.

Tariff = transaction price x tariff rate

In addition to customs duties, passengers must also pay taxes on goods and services.

Goods and services tax = (transaction price+tariff) X 12.5%

Duty payable (comprehensive tax) = tariff+goods and services tax. Some tourists from China who come to New Zealand with drug instructions have practiced using certain drugs in their place of origin, or they will take them with them for backup.

New Zealand is a country with developed civilization and high respect for human rights. The government allows passengers to carry applied drugs. However, the import control of drugs here is very strict. Passengers carrying drugs must meet three conditions:

1 has a prescription of western medicine;

Western medicine proves in writing that patients need to take these drugs to treat diseases or maintain their lives;

These drugs are still in the original packaging (preferably intact).

Customs officials will review the relevant documents and check whether the packaging is suspicious before release.

Don't use fake invoices

1 When passengers buy electronic equipment or other items abroad, some stores will take the initiative to issue price invoices to them, indicating that passengers have paid a lower payment.

When passengers arrive in New Zealand, never provide such price invoices to the customs to reduce or avoid paying customs duties. Otherwise, the consequences may be very serious, and the loss will definitely outweigh the gain.

Although New Zealand Customs generally determines the taxable value according to the invoice of the goods, experienced customs officials can easily find that the declared value of the goods is unreasonable. They have the right to re-evaluate the hungry value of the goods at the price approved by the customs.

Passengers must also know that whether they declare false tax information to the customs or provide price invoices to customs officials, they are hiding their dutiable goods from the customs. In other words, this is also a crime of smuggling.

The punishment for the crime of smuggling may be very severe. In addition to confiscating passengers' belongings, the customs also requires passengers to pay a considerable fine. More serious

Yes, passengers may be prosecuted by the customs, and finally the judge will decide the punishment and leave a criminal record.

Therefore, it is the best practice to declare the information and value of taxable items honestly and submit real invoices.

Don't smuggle drugs

Smuggling drugs to New Zealand, the price of smugglers is imprisonment and loss of freedom! Even if he is released from prison after serving his sentence, if he is not a hungry New Zealand citizen, the New Zealand government will immediately expel the criminal from the country. As for other countries, drug smugglers who are convicted of serving their sentences will also be classified as persona non grata. Please remember not to carry luggage or packages for strangers. Cunning drugs often use unsuspecting passengers to carry drugs through customs.

If someone says to you, please help me to bring these things back to New Zealand. Remember to say: no, unless you can be sure that these items do not contain drugs or other contraband, the safest thing is not to carry luggage or parcels for others.

If someone says to you: There will be no problem, New Zealand is a place where drugs are legal. Don't believe such nonsense. Almost all developed countries have banned the use of drugs. If you blindly believe that New Zealand is a place where drugs are legalized, you will face long-term imprisonment and lose your freedom!

If there are no weapons or explosives on passengers and luggage, they can safely get their luggage back at the other end of the conveyor belt through the metal detector.

Finally, passengers must pass through the exit counter controlled by New Zealand Customs. Please give your passport and the completed exit card to the customs officer.

After the customs officer stamps the passport and takes away the exit card, he returns the passport to the passenger.

10 passengers pass through the customs exit control counter, and the entire exit formalities are completed. And then find a suitable waiting place in the departure restricted area to wait for boarding and departure?

Of all the countries I have been to, no country has stricter animal and plant quarantine than New Zealand and Australia. It is common to be fined for not knowing. If you bring an apple or beef jerky through customs without declaring it, because you don't understand it, because it's your first time, so you can get the lightest punishment-a fine of 200 New Zealand dollars.

The Australian entry card has a Chinese version, so it will not be posted.

But not in New Zealand. When you get on the plane, the only New Zealand entry card you can get is English.

If you choose to fill it out temporarily at the entrance after getting off the plane, you can only find English.

In other words, the Chinese version you see here can only help you better understand the current content, but you can't see the Chinese version when you travel. So let's get familiar with the English version first.
