The customs entry date decides the rate

New Zealand Customs rates apply on the date the entry is made. Choose the fortnightly table whose valid period includes that date.

Values are foreign currency per New Zealand dollar. Check the direction before using a value to convert an amount.

Published ahead of each fortnightly period

New Zealand Customs Service publishes its customs exchange rates 11 days ahead of the fortnightly period.

Our history starts on 29 Dec 1997. Each table carries its own start and end dates.
