Export Sekonic from US - PhotoCamel

ah-photography · 03-15-2008

I am after a Sekonic lightmeter and can save a load of NZ$$$ right now by buying one from the US but can't find anywhere online that appears to ship outside of the US!

Can anyone tell if there are restrictions on exporting photographic kit from the US?

I don't think you will have any restrictions
But i know they will hit you in customs with an extra coast

With the exchange rate as it is I'm looking at a 40% saving- 12% duty won't be too much of a hit

Thanks for the feedback

I've bought from B&H many times before - they ship to the UK and they have NZ listed as a valid option.

B&H for sure. I import to Canada and have no problems, quick turnaround.

Thanks guys. I visited a number of sites found on google, all didn't appear to give export so I gave up, if I'd carried on for 1 or 2 more pages of Google results, I'd have found one

Anyway, I finally got one on Calumet so now i just got to sit back and wait
