- Orders under NZD $1,000 are typically not subject to import duties, GST, or customs fees under current New Zealand regulations. Orders over this amount may incur charges from New Zealand Customs.

We recommend contacting New Zealand Customs for further information if your order exceeds this threshold. Culture Kings does not mark parcels as "samples" or "gifts" to avoid taxes.
