Overseas VAT/GST registration

An increasing number of overseas countries are changing the way they manage VAT/GST collection on low value goods imports.


How will this affect you?

New Zealand companies selling goods to the below destinations may need to register and directly settle VAT/GST with each country's tax department.

The thresholds for the GST/VAT vary by the destination country. For further information please click below and/or contact your accountant

It is your responsibility to check the management of VAT/GST collection on low value goods imports. Acceptance of the item by us for sending does not free you of this responsibility.

International delivery duties & taxes

Reduce international parcel delays by charging duties or taxes to your NZ Post Account. Available for Express.

Delivery Duties and Taxes Paid (DTP) is an add-on to our Express service. The fee is $50 per parcel. It gives you the option to have duties or taxes incurred for parcels charged back to your NZ Post Account – this can reduce delays.


Using DTP

To sign up to use DTP contact your NZ Post Account Manager or our Business Team.
