Apologies if this has been discussed before but trying to get my head around these new rules regarding imports and GST/duty coming later this year.
From:
(https://www.dlapiper.com/en/newzealand/insights/publications/2019/07/nz-enacts-new-gst-rules-applying-to-online-sales-of-low-value-goods/)

[i]"The new rules are summarised below:

The rules apply to offshore companies selling low value imported goods (also referred to as 'distantly taxable goods'), being goods valued at NZ$1,000 or less (excluding shipping and insurance), to NZ consumers......

As with NZ companies, offshore companies/suppliers will only be required to register for and return GST when their supplies to NZ consumers exceed (or are expected to exceed) NZ$60,000 in a 12-month period.......

NZ Customs will not collect any form of duty on goods valued at less that NZ$1,000 (with some exceptions, such as for alcohol). Customs will still collect GST on parcels valued at above NZ$1,000, although GST registered offshore companies can choose to apply GST on parcels above NZ$1,000."[i]

So, to summarise the above; if an overseas company I'm buying goods from is not required to register for GST (because sales to NZ is expected to be less than $60,000 per year), I won't pay GST and duty providing the value of those goods (from the customs declation) is under $1000.
Is this correct?

Thanks
