itibariyle 17 Ekim 2026, New Zealand charges a standard customs duty rate of 10% on garment imports from India. Under the New Zealand–Hindistan Serbest Ticaret Anlaşması, which enters into force on 20 Ekim 2026, tariffs on Indian goods will fall to 0%. Importers must continue to pay the standard 10% duty until the agreement takes effect and must provide proof of Indian origin under the agreement rules to claim duty-free entry once it applies.
Tariff elimination under the New Zealand–Hindistan ticaret anlaşması
The bilateral trade agreement between New Zealand and India was signed on 27 Nisan 2026 and ratified by both sides. Entry into force is set for 20 Ekim 2026, as confirmed on 7 Ekim 2026 by New Zealand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The agreement is signed and ratified, but not yet in force. Garments cleared before 20 Ekim 2026 do not qualify for preferential treatment and must pay New Zealand’s normal 10% tarife.
New Zealand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade states that tariffs will be removed on Indian goods imported into New Zealand from the day the agreement enters into force. İtibaren 20 Ekim 2026, importers can claim the 0% agreement rate on the customs import entry. Goods need proof of Indian origin under the agreement’s rules of origin to secure the preferential rate; confirm the exact origin document with your customs broker before shipping.
Current duty rates compared to the agreement rate
Prior to 20 Ekim 2026, garments imported from India pay a standard duty rate of 10%. Under the agreement, eligible apparel will be cleared at 0%. If origin documentation is missing or unverified, the standard 10% rate applies; check with your customs broker regarding documentation requirements for individual shipments.

New Zealand import GST and valuation rules
New Zealand levies an import Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate of 15%. GST of 15% is charged on the price paid plus international freight, postage and insurance, plus import duty. Because duty is factored directly into the valuation base, eliminating the 10% duty from 20 Ekim 2026 also reduces the base upon which the 15% GST is calculated.
Customs collects duty, levies, and GST only when the consignment value exceeds NZ$1,000, though this threshold exemption does not apply to alcohol and tobacco. If an importer receives multiple orders that arrive on the same day from the same supplier, Customs considers them to be a single shipment, which may push the total value over the NZ$1,000 threshold.
For commercial entities, a GST-registered business claims the import GST back as input tax on its domestic return, supported by the official Customs import entry or statement. Ek olarak, approved importers may defer import GST; check with your customs broker regarding clearance accounts and deferred payment eligibility.
