I do not think that is correct
The "Seller" in UK or Chins or wherever will add GST to the price that you will pay
The item if less than 1000NZ$ or not for commercial resale - will pass without the Customs fees
Although - clothing and Boots (footwear) still command 10% Duty - so not sure if Overseas Seller will add that in - again if they do add into sale price, it should pass through NZ Boarder without any other charges
