Thread: Bringing gear back into NZ?

Currently living in the UK doing the 'cliche' overseas experience and am beginning to find some really good deals on hunting related gear (scopes, boots, tents, lights etc).

What's the deal with bringing this type of gear (brand new) back into the country.... customs/gst etc?

Vietnamcam - suggested just removing the items from their original packaging and say that I took it outer the country in the first place with me. However, I'd rather leave the scope etc all packaged up in it's original box if possible to keep it safe on the journey home.

I would remove all price tags, but realistically what are the legalities here....?

Cheers,
