Importing is more expensive than most people think.

At £209 (for the base model plus delivery) you're looking at NZ$548
(.3814 exchange), add GST (which you will get charged), that's $616, add
customs fees and disbursement charges of between $40 and $100 depending
on the agent it comes in through and you're looking $656 - $716.

There's also credit card charges - most banks will charge a ~2%
conversion fee on foreign exchange purchases, so this could increase by
$10 - $15.
