International orders

International orders shop Tax Free saving 15% of listed prcices. If your order is being delivered to an international destination then your order is an international order. The process is the same as for New Zealand orders but there are some key difference that we answer here.

• Declared value
• Currency converter on this site and your order
• Customs duty and taxes
• Country border controls for tea products
• Countries we ship to
• Current freight/shipping charges

Declared value

Postal regulations in New Zealand, and for parcel insurance rules, mean that we must declare the true and correct value of your order.

Currency converter on this site

The currency converter used on this website is an estimate which is updated daily. You may choose any of the currencies to shop with us but we process orders in New Zealand dollars which means your order confirmation will appear in New Zealand dollars, not the currency you chose.

Customs duty and taxes

When an order goes to a country other than New Zealand you could be charged duties and taxes that are beyond our control. You should check on any possible taxes or duties that the destination country has in place before you order.

Country border controls for tea products

There may be importation restrictions that we are unaware of in certain countries and we cannot guarantee that certain teas will be allowed entry into certain countries. Australian customers should be particularly aware of this and we do not recommend ordering any herbal infusions or teas with citrus peels or seeds of any kind into Australia.

If a tea is imported that does not meet a customs requirements then the product could be heat treated at the importers expense or destroyed. We recommend that customers refer to their governments’ importation guidelines. We can also be contacted at orders@tleaft.co.nz and we will advise if we are aware of any issues relating to the relevant country.

Countries we ship to:
We send orders to Australia, Europe, North America and many other countries. If your country is not listed in the cart as an option please email us.
