My wife and I moved over four and half years ago and left our two sons in the mid 20s with their possessions, childhood stuff and furniture for their flat. We have just applied for citizenship.
One of my son’s is coming over on a 12month working holiday visa ...and if he likes NZ will seek to extend and maybe try and stay if he can get work and settle.
We are delighted and have agreed to pay to ship over all his stuff from his flat (rather than put it in storage for 12-24months) .....but will he have to pay customs???
I rang Customs here in NZ and after hanging on for ages they guy was unfortunately pretty unhelpful and kept referring to my 30 yr old son as a student and suggested he’ll have to pay 15% on everything.
Any advice help much appreciated as always
