If it's under 1000 and the company you purchase off is not registered with our IRD, Customs will not collect gst. Companies that do greater than 60k business into NZ annually have been hounded to register with IRD and to collect gst on the govt behalf.
Run it thru What's My Duty to check. Scopes and stocks aren't in the list on What's My Duty so I usually select golf clubs.
