Monster Mills

[Warren McKenzie]

I'm thinking of importing a few Monster Mills. Just gauging if anyone would be interested in buying one?

[Paul Fraser]

I was just having a wee look at mills online just yesterday. What sort of prices you looking at??

 

[Pat Fuller]

I Could be keen Warren. I'm the same as Paul on the Price Question.

[vdog]

Ditto - let me know what price you''re looking at... I'd be keen on a MM2 2.0 if the pricing works out okay.

[Warren McKenzie]

For the standard MM2 with a hopper I'd be looking at selling for $320.

I was looking at getting a MM2-2.0 myself but the guy there told me "Unless you want to run a micro brewery, or plan to crack corn, then the 220 is overkill" so I'll probably just get the MM2 in.

[mattd2]

Is that including the hopper extension? If not is it not cheaper to individually bring these in as a bulk buy would require GST to be paid?

[Warren McKenzie]

Nah just hopper. $320 would be a trademe price, so $300 if I could sell on here. Didn't really think about GST...not really buying bulk, would just be 3 or 4.

GST kicks in for orders over $400.

Order 1 and you may not get charged GST. Order 2 and you probably will have to pay GST.

[Warren McKenzie]

Good to know. Idea is now off the table haha. Works out more expensive with the added GST even though I'd be saving a bit on shipping.

[Sambo]

There is no GST on imports or exports. Maybe import duty, but definately not GST.

[mattd2]

You do have to pay GST on imported goods, but it is not collected (or exempt) if the value is under NZ$400 (including shipping and calculated on the day of clearing customs). As far as I know there is no import duty on brewery equipment.

[Pilgrim]

I heard last week from someone who imports a lot of small parts that Customs had dropped the threshold value from $400 to $60. Just checked that on the customs website and it appears correct.

[Ralph]

That does not sound quite correct? The numbers you have there are the same as the current threshold. When the GST that would be charged gets above $60 that is when they start charging. $400 x 15%GST = $60.... so they start charging GST when the value of the shipment is over $400.

They may have changed it, but those numbers you quote sound like the current numbers interpreted wrong to me?
