Buy in Denmark, Shipped to New Zealand
Your Danish purchase, sent on to New Zealand. New goods with a receipt, received in Copenhagen, checked, repacked and tracked to your ground floor.
In short
GIA ships brand-new furniture, lighting and design pieces bought from Danish shops to private buyers and companies in New Zealand, including from shops that will not ship there themselves. Your goods need their original packaging and a receipt. GIA receives or collects them in Copenhagen, inspects and repacks them, and ships them on, tracked on giaservice.dk. GST, any duty, levies and the clearance are paid by the receiver, and delivery is to the ground floor.

Importing your Danish purchase into New Zealand
Goods sent from Denmark to New Zealand are cleared by the New Zealand Customs Service. GST of 15% applies to imported goods. For goods worth more than NZD 1,000, Customs collects GST and any duty at the border, and an import entry is needed. Furniture shipped through GIA is normally above this amount.
| GST | 15%, calculated on the value of the goods plus any duty, freight and insurance. |
|---|---|
| Over NZD 1,000 | Customs collects GST and any duty, an import entry is needed, and levies apply per entry. The importer needs a Customs number. |
| Who pays | The receiver pays GST, any duty, the levies and the clearance. GIA prepares the export documents in Denmark. |
| Biosecurity | Goods can be held for biosecurity checks even when no duty is due. Goods travel in clean, new manufacturer packaging. |
| Pallets | Shipments to New Zealand travel on heat treated, stamped Euro pallets. |
Delivery to the ground floor in New Zealand
The shipment is handed over at street level at your address. Carrying the goods upstairs or into an apartment is arranged by the receiver. Tell us about building access or delivery hours in the request.
Before you pay the Danish shop
- Ask for the receipt or invoice with the shop’s name, the items and the price. It travels with the goods as the commercial invoice.
- Keep the original packaging. Goods in the manufacturer’s box travel best and are easiest to check against the receipt.
- Tell the shop to deliver to GIA, or let us collect from the shop, so the goods are in one place before they are repacked.
- Check the measurements. Large furniture must fit through the door and the lift at your address in New Zealand.
Send us the shop’s name, the items and the delivery address in New Zealand in the form on this page, and you get a fixed price in writing before anything moves. We reply within 2 to 24 hours.

Do I need a Customs number?
Yes, when you import goods worth more than NZD 1,000, because Customs collects GST and duty and an import entry is made.

Yes. Items can be held for biosecurity clearance even when no duty or GST is due.
Will the driver bring the furniture inside?
Delivery is to the ground floor at street level. Carrying the goods upstairs or inside is arranged by the receiver.
How long does shipping to New Zealand take?
The expected timing depends on the goods, the packing and the address. We confirm it in writing together with your fixed price.
