Hi all,

I have just visited

http://www.customs.govt.nz/resources...cleimports.pdf

and it seems to indicate that if you are a first time immigrant who has owned the vehicle for 12 months and will not sell it in NZ for 2 years then you can import it without paying GST or duty. Is this right?

There is another requirement that you as the importer

"Has the intention of
forthwith taking up
permanent residence in
New Zealand for the first
time, and the legal
authority to do so;"

Would this cover someone who had a work visa and was in the process of applying for residency or who was in the EOI pool??
