Haven't bought a pram but have bought lots of other stuff - as kiwigal says you need to be aware of the extra charges you may have to pay at the border.

Assuming that the total cost of the pram, including shipping, is over NZD $400, you will have to pay import duty and GST. Import duty is 5-20% depending on the category the item falls under. The amount of duty gets added to the total cost and then you will have to pay 15% of that in GST.

So if the pram cost NZD $900 plus $100 shipping (for example and ease of maths!) the total cost is NZD $1000. You would have to pay import duty of (for example) 10% of that which is another $100 for a new total of $1100. You would then have to pay 15% GST which takes the total cost to $1265. So in addition to the $900 for the pram itself, you would be paying an additional $365 in shipping and taxes. Ouch!!]]> Tue, 21 Aug 2012 19:48:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42470&PID=5810616&title=how-to-buy-a-pram-from-us#5810616 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42470&PID=5810611&title=how-to-buy-a-pram-from-us#5810611 Author: kiwigal

I would imagine the shipping being very expensive and you are mostly likely get stung through customs and pay a lot of tax on it. ]]> Tue, 21 Aug 2012 19:18:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42470&PID=5810611&title=how-to-buy-a-pram-from-us#5810611 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42470&PID=5810500&title=how-to-buy-a-pram-from-us#5810500 Author: Tristansmum
