Cost of rifle & postage US dollars ,then add import duty at 20 % ,then add GST at 15% of all 3 = ?
Lets say Rifle was $400 US ,postage another $80 US , + 20% =$576 now add 15% =$662.40
Or you can convert the US to NZ dollars first @ $552.12 + 662.40 + 761.76
They charge duty & GST on postage cost ,hate to think what other add-ons they have tucked away .

Would this be the same type of cost for importing just parts, eg say Magazines.

mags + shipping < $400, then no customs fees or GST
