((No offence to any customs officers that view this thread) although feel free to inform me what happens when you stuff up))

Bloody Chicken .. Customs .. some a bit like the Av-Sec that watch ya and tell Ya's .. then go and do it themselves .. now just why are you worried for

Well, yoke has arrived in NZ this morning. Probably another 48 hours before it has been released by Customs. I phones Customs today to find out what other charges will apply. GST + Transaction fee ($45). $45 for a transaction fee, so, I pay them to pay them?

I understand the GST but what the hek could justify $45 for a transaction fee? This is even paying with NZ currency not like there's any conversions.

Oh well got a really good deal on the Yoke + shipping together ($167 total) and other Yokes shown on eBay were up to the $900 USD mark and without any buttons too.
