The only thing I would be worried about would be shipping insurance? Would hate for something to happen to the package and then only be able to claim $250 T_T
I don't know how this works though. Suppose I would have to ask DHL or some such.

Insurance is definitely an issue, which is why most overseas companies will refuse to fudge the value of a package.
Mail fraud is also a problem for some of these companies. If the package were to come across an overzealous customs officer who opens the package, sees multiple items with very expensive price stickers still attached, possibly even a receipt for the full value, and someone has stated with their signature that the package value is only $250, that doesn't bode well.

I've made 3 FC-Moto purchases so far. They have all included at the top of the package an itemised invoice in $NZ so no confusion for any customs officer there, but no fudging prices either.

Hmm, so do they charge VAT before it leaves DE or not? [Sorry, cbf looking back through thread]
NZ$1,895.63 + NZ GST wouldn't be so bad but NZ$2,245.73 + NZ GST would sting.
Better try find some NZ retailers to try this stuff on and make sure I get the sizes right before telling them 'Nah, I'll get it cheaper from the other side of the planet'.

You should cbf...Originally Posted by Chris.k
Because you are not consuming the product in the country, it's ex-VAT. Often I've found shipping and VAT similar, so it's almost like free shipping...

Awesome site, unbelievable pricing.... I am either looking at ordering Shark S900 or Scorpion Exo 500 helmet from them.

So if I get a helmet for NZ $250 including shipping will the govt and customs take a big bite out of it?

And even better, since the applicable sales tax in Germany is 19%, you may well get it shipped for a good chunk less than that depending on what you're buying. Everything I have bought from them only cost 16 euros to ship, and that included a big box with a leather jacket in it.
If you get it delivered to Germany you vill pay the 19% guaranteed. If you have it shipped here you might get lucky and avoid 15% GST. But most likely you will have to pay it plus a small MAF fee (IIRC). But there is no import duty on m/c gear as I recall. So you have maybe 3% to cover shipping while still being up on the deal.
FYI GST etc. is collected when the total cost including delivery is $400 or more. But they often miss stuff.

total incl. shipping was NZ$353.12
happy indeed.
was other things i wanted to get as well but didn't really wanna go over $400- for extra taxes...
