I have recently imported rifles more than NZD $1000.00 in value. Using my Customs Client Code I cleared through Customs myself, paying gst plus their charges / fees. I still think using a Customs agent is easier but some costs can be saved by doing it yourself. If you don't havs much spare time the Customs agent is a good option.
