Toolwarehouse: I did once have customs change things when the customs broker mis classified goods, which meant they had a huge duty on them, instead of the correct classification which had little or no duty

 

 

These spare parts are ones that were supposed to have been in a previous consignment but were missing, so any GST/duty had alreeady been paid on them on the previous consignment, its just that the items were missing, so you should not have to pay customs twice on that one item. So there is no cheating involved

That's not what you wrote here. If you had this problem with parts being not shipped then you should have written on the post instead of giving us piecemeal.

sqishy:

I think your screwed, AU$385 attracts duty. Can you post the trademe link? Was there any update here, did the duty go away?



Lucky for me, you weren't the custom's agent ;)

Apparently, Customs have a very large back log and it takes them a while to work through their emails - over a week in fact! However, upon receipt of my email they opened my package and found the invoice for less than NZ$400 so waived the charges and released the package. It arrived at home yesterday.

Pity I'm not home for two weeks...
