More about shipping to New Zealand

However, the availability in New Zealand is not quite there yet. While some local retailers might stock a few shades, the full collection is often elusive.

Why the US shade range beats what we have in New Zealand

The reality is that US retailers like Sephora and the official Kosas website carry the full spectrum of 24+ shades. In New Zealand, we often get a watered-down selection that ignores the very fair or very deep ends of the spectrum. Buying directly from a shop us store ensures you actually get the shade that matches your undertone rather than settling for "close enough."

Beyond just the colors, the pricing is a major factor. Even with the exchange rate, US bundle deals—where you can pair the BB Burst with their Revealer Concealer—offer significant savings. Check out our detailed breakdown here: Read more: New Zealanders save $42 on Kosas BB Burst Tinted Gel Cream by sourcing from US stores.

The specific problem with using New Zealand credit cards at US stores

You might think you can just hop onto Sephora US, enter your Auckland or Wellington billing address, and call it a day. Unfortunately, many major US retailers have strict security protocols that automatically decline orders using international credit cards or those associated with known freight forwarder addresses. It is a frustrating experience to see your order pending and then receive a cancellation email five minutes later.

This is a common hurdle for Kiwi shoppers. You can find more about why this happens in our help center FAQ. If you want to avoid the disappointment of a flagged transaction, you should look into a proxy shopping solution. Check our guide on this topic: Read more: Ordering Kosas BB Burst from New Zealand is a recipe for a canceled order.

Using the BuyForMe service for a guaranteed order

The safest way to ensure your Kosas order actually ships is by using the comGateway BuyForMe service. Instead of you trying to bypass the US payment gateways with a New Zealand card, we use a US domestic card to purchase the items on your behalf. This eliminates the risk of the store cancelling your order because of your payment origin.

This buy for me option is specifically designed for stores like Nike, Apple, and Sephora that are notoriously difficult for international buyers. It is the most reliable assisted purchase method available in 2026 for getting restricted beauty launches delivered to your door.

How a freight forwarder helps you save on shipping

Once your order is secured, you need a way to get it to New Zealand. When you sign up for comGateway, you get a tax-free us address in Oregon. This is a huge benefit because it means you do not pay any US sales tax on your Kosas purchase, which can save you up to 10% right at the checkout.

From our warehouse, we provide international shipping options to New Zealand. You can use our shipping calculator to see exactly what the costs will be before you even buy. Whether you prefer DHL international shipping for speed or FedEx international shipping for reliability, you have the power to choose based on your budget.

Import tax and shipping rules for New Zealand in 2026

Before you ship, it is important to be aware of the import tax and GST rules in New Zealand. As of 2026, the GST on low-value imported goods (under $1,000) is usually collected at the point of sale or handled during the shipping process. Beauty products are generally safe to ship, but you should always check the shipping rules for any prohibited items or restricted goods like pressurized aerosols or certain flammable liquids that might be in a beauty bundle.
