• 1

  New Zealand publishes import duty figures in New Zealand Dollar, revised periodically — enter the rate currently in force for your case in New Zealand rather than an older stored figure so the result matches the official calculation.

• 2

  Keep the import duty amount and rate for New Zealand on one period and one basis — monthly New Zealand Dollar figures with an annual rate, or gross with net, give a number that is arithmetically right but misleading in practice.

• 3

  For large New Zealand Dollar sums, compare the import duty output for New Zealand against a rough mental estimate first; if the two are far apart, re-check the rate and the amount before trusting either number for a decision or a commitment.

• Duty rates are product-specific: New Zealand customs schedules assign every item a code with its own percentage, and a neighboring country's figure does not transfer. Classify the goods first, then compute the New Zealand Dollar duty.

• A percentage entered as a whole number where a decimal is expected (15 versus 0.15) is off by ×100 — the most common single error in rate fields. Check which form the New Zealand Import Duty field expects before you type.
