No, no. Duty is a levy (and hence, subject to GST which Customs will slap on the bill). Not reclaimable. Unless you export the stuff again (faulty goods or the like) and then only if it's over $50.Originally Posted by imdying
GST is reclaimable provided you are GST registered (and you are using the good in your line of business, etc). If you are Joe Bloggs importing for private use, you must suck it.

Duty fees are basically just like all other expense and you just claim it back.
That is why I am say its bad,cause its like paying for printer inks,it makes your product cost more and brings down your profit or makes your products more expensive... :P

Really?!?!?
That is just silly... Duty is something you paid for and its reducing your income. If you can't claim then the government is fooling us in say we are earning more that we really do!!!

I fucking hope so, I've been doing this for a while.
Duty, in theory, is there to protect NZ industry* (that's why not everything is dutiable). It's meant to prevent, for example, Asia from dumping products on our market cheaper than it can be made for here.
Joe McInternet-Buyer is just caught up in the net when importing goods for personal use. Sucks but there you go. Most motorcycle gear is Duty Free anyway.
*There is another thread about F&P, so please don't respond here to my point about NZ Industry.
