What taxes might be payable to Customs on arrival?

Any items with a value exceeding NZD 1000 that are imported into New Zealand are liable for GST, and certain items may also incur Duty. The current rate for GST is 15% of the CIF value (comprising the cost of goods, freight, and insurance). Some goods, such as personal effects and vehicles, may be exempt under specific conditions.
