We make kitchens, wardrobes, panelling and hotel furniture in Foshan for New Zealand homes and hotels. Import GST is 15% on the goods value plus international freight, insurance and any duty. Duty depends on the tariff item and origin; your broker checks NZ–China FTA eligibility. Solid-timber packaging must meet MPI requirements. Asbestos-containing products have been prohibited imports since 1 October 2016, subject to limited legal exceptions.

Before you order
Your import checklist.
Review the actual goods, materials and destination with your customs broker before committing to production.
| Item | What to know | Source |
|---|---|---|
| GST | 15% on the value of the goods plus duty, international freight and insurance. Low-value collection rules are separate. | NZ Customs · Duty and GST |
| Duty | The tariff classification, origin evidence and any NZ–China FTA preference determine the rate. Your broker confirms the actual goods. | MFAT · NZ–China FTA legal textMFAT · Tariff Finder |
| Small shipments | Customs generally does not collect duty or GST on goods valued at NZ$1,000 or less, subject to exceptions and larger-consignment rules. This does not mean no GST at checkout or no freight levies. Private importers need a Customs Number from NZ$1,000; commercial importers use a client code. | NZ Customs · Duty and GSTNZ Customs · Customs Number |
| Goods levies | The Customs/MPI goods-levy structure changed on 1 April 2026. Low-value freight consignments also attract levies; charging and who pays depend on the consignment and transport mode. | NZ Customs · Goods levies, 2026 changes |
| Wood packaging | Use compliant ISPM 15 treated packaging for relevant solid timber. MPI accepts the prescribed marks or qualifying official treatment certificates; confirm the import health standard and container declaration with your broker. | MPI · Importing wood packaging |
| Asbestos | Asbestos-containing products cannot normally be imported. The 2016 prohibition has limited permit and Customs-controlled re-export exceptions. | WorkSafe · Asbestos in Aotearoa New ZealandNZ Legislation · Prohibition Order 2016EPA · Asbestos-containing products permit |

Before we begin.
Do I pay GST on furniture imported to New Zealand?
Yes, import GST is 15% on the goods value plus freight, insurance and any duty when collected at the border. Different collection rules apply to low-value purchases; your seller or marketplace may collect GST, and freight levies can still apply.
Is there duty on furniture from China?
It depends on the tariff item and origin; preferential rates may apply under the NZ–China FTA. Your broker confirms classification, origin evidence and the rate before shipment.
Do you supply motels in New Zealand?
Yes. Start with a sample room or agreed key pieces before any repeat package; there is no minimum order. We review scope, specifications, packing and shipping economics for your project.
Do cabinets arrive assembled?
They can. Assembled cabinets take more container space; confirm the packing method, freight allowance and local installation responsibilities in the quotation.
