It will be in here.New Zealand Customs Service : Home
I didn't when I got some. Came in under NZ$400
You should be able to buy them less the 19% VAT in Germany as a non EU customer.

As long the shippment is under $400NZ "inclusive of freight/shipping charges" you should be OKQuote:

What exact brand/model of Lowa ??
There is still 10% Duty on footwear and clothing - but again if the amount below 400NZ they say it is not worth pursuing the GST and Duty - it would cost as much to do all documentation etc as what they would collect
They also state that the “400NZ) is discretionary
I've had 4 pr of Tibets so far, usually around $340 to my door, excellent service, no duty etc cos under $400
If you are a "business" like me & have to use brokers etc the minimum charges for NZ $401 or so dollars including freight goes from around $104 to $214 Kiwi by the time you include all the costs including the broker & don't forget to add 1-3 weeks + to the process it all....good times....:XD:
So keeping stuff under $400 Kiwi is ideal :)
$340 is a bloody good price what website was that from?Quote:

Let us know how long it takes to get to your door
Just had an email from myhuntingshop saying the product is out of stock but will be back in stock end of the month. They gave me the option to cancel the order or wait until they're back in stock. Gonna wait. Bit annoying though it shouldn't let you pay for them if they're not in stock.

I've already paid for them so the price is locked in at $380.

Its looking good for you thought - $ strengthen with the settling of Jacinda's star dust
This is the Table NZ Customs use for imports
http://www.customs.govt.nz/news/util...-Exchange.aspx
Its logged in advance so you should be able to monitor currency effect on a purchase as long as they send prompt and it arrives inside 10 days (not meaning you CT - others who want to get some in future)
If however they put NZ$ on invoice accompanying purchased item - then should be good to go without this
I'm pretty sure it will be invoiced in Euros unfortunately

That is what I suspected - freight cost also be in EuroQuote:

$ up 1.3% today
I just transferred NZ$ for 4000 Euro yesterday - so do not EVER ask me for advice on Currency prediction/track :omg:
A day later would have saved me all fees at the very least :-(

Ive only ever paid online with my debit card and has always come back in NZ$, easy peasy. The only hassle I could forsee is if you don't get your sizing right. I don't have that problem, have had the same size for Raichle, Hanwag, Meindl and Lowa for the past 20 years. Unfortunately son is same size as well so sometimes a case of first up best dressed
What sizing does the site use for boots.

I always wanted Lowa Tibet's but could never justify $700 but $380 is pretty reasonable I think for boots of that quality.

Well doneQuote:

You prob see the NZ$ is now a .58 against the Euro - lucky you ordered when you did - because you be over the 400hundi today for sure
Total shipping time frame was 2 weeks from when they came back in stock but only 2 days once arrived in NZ. Guess I got lucky on the exchange rate!
