• Shipito will NOT collect GST and you are required to remit payment directly to the New Zealand Taxation Office.

• If you have an New Zealand IRD on file with Shipito, you will not have to pay the taxes at mail out but can submit the fees to the New Zealand Government with your regular quarterly tax payment.

• If you DON'T have an New Zealand IRD on file with Shipito, postage and processing fees will be assessed a 15% GST at the time of shipping.

As a curiousity, notice the poor grammar of their statement, and the errors such as "quarterly tax payment". It makes a lot more sense if you s/New Zealand/Australian/ and s/IRD/ABN/

Just because a company doesn't collect GST on your behalf, why would you think you would be exempt from paying it?

 

Because the GST exemption threshold on imports is $1000. In practice you don't pay GST if the foreign retailer/shipper does not collect it.
