It is important to note that
while both Australia and New Zealand have a GST, they
are not linked in any way. Each are autonomous to each country.
Where goods are shipped in either direction a GST will be applied
to them on entry to that country unless they fall below the respective
threshold for entry to that country. Those thresholds also differ
so check before you decide to ship. Rates are different for the
Australian GST which may impact on pricing to end consumers along
with the different exchange rates.
We recommend you check the impact of GST whether you are New
Zealand based shipping to Australia or vice versa.
Note: You will be able to claim back the GST component
applicable from either New Zealand or Australia when exporting
goods from that each country which may offset the GST paid on
import.
