Do I pay customs duty sending from Japan to New Zealand?
That depends on the customs relationship between Japan and New Zealand. A parcel for WELLINGTON follows the rules of these two countries. Parcels moving inside one customs territory, such as between two EU member states, need no declaration. They attract no import duty and no import VAT.
Where the route crosses a customs border, a declaration accompanies every parcel. Booking from Japan generates the required form from the contents and value you enter. The recipient in WELLINGTON pays any import duty and local VAT on arrival. Customs calculates both on the declared value. Declare honestly. Understated values are the most common cause of parcels held at the border.
Gifts below the local de-minimis threshold are often exempt from duty. New Zealand sets that threshold, not the carrier. Restrictions on excise goods such as alcohol and tobacco apply on every route. They apply even inside the EU.
Keep the commercial invoice or receipt available until the parcel arrives in WELLINGTON. Customs in New Zealand may ask for proof of value.

Some destinations restrict more than the universal list. Typical additions into New Zealand include alcohol and tobacco above personal allowances, prescription medicines without documentation, plant material and seeds, and cosmetics in commercial quantities. Branded goods can need proof of origin. Check the rules for New Zealand before booking when your item could fall in one of these categories.
