NZ Customs Tobacco Duty Free Concessions Reduced effective 01 Nov

From 1 November 2014, the duty free tobacco concession for travellers drops to 50 cigarettes or 50 grams of cigars or tobacco products.

It’s ok to bring more than 50 cigarettes or 50 grams of cigars or tobacco products in to New Zealand, but this must be declared on the passenger arrival card. The first 50 cigarettes or 50 grams of cigars or tobacco products are duty free, and travellers must pay duty and GST on the rest.

Travellers will be able to estimate how much duty they will have to pay on cigarettes and tobacco at www.whatsmyduty.org.nz from 1 November.
