Hi all,

Thinking of buying a telescope through bhphotovideo.com and shipping from US to NZ.  I notice when you buy they give you two options for taxes/duties

1. Pay the taxes/duties (GST) at time of purchase through them

2. Handle the payment yourself when the item enters the country

Has anyone tried option 2?  Presumably under the new rules if the GST isnt capture at the time of purchase (option 1) then you wont have to pay it when it enters the country? 

thanks
