The 2026 plan for importing Lollar Imperial High Wind pickups to New Zealand

The technical appeal of 2026 High Wind Imperials

The Lollar Pickups 'Imperial' Humbucker Set (High Wind 2026) is a specific variation of the classic Imperial design. It provides a higher output and a thicker midrange than the standard model. Guitarists in New Zealand often prefer this set for driving tube amplifiers into natural saturation without losing clarity. These pickups are hand-wound in the United States. Many musicians choose to buy from a shop us store directly to ensure they receive a genuine product with the latest 2026 manufacturing refinements. Local stock in New Zealand is often limited to standard winds, making the High Wind version a common import item.

Sourcing from US-based boutique retailers

Purchasing gear from US retailers allows access to the full Lollar catalog. Most Australian and New Zealand retailers do not carry the specific 2026 High Wind variations in all finish options. Using a freight forwarder is a standard procedure for musicians who want to bypass regional stock shortages. A tax-free us address provided by comGateway allows you to avoid US sales tax at the point of purchase. This reduces the initial cost before the item is sent to New Zealand.

Solving payment declines with the BuyForMe service

Some US music equipment stores do not accept international credit cards. They frequently block transactions that originate from outside the United States or decline orders sent to a parcel forwarding service. This is a common issue with high-end boutique gear retailers. The BuyForMe service exists to solve this problem. Our team purchases the item on your behalf using a US domestic payment method. This proxy shopping option is the most reliable way to ensure a retailer does not cancel your order. You can learn more about this assisted purchase process through our help center.

Logistics and shipping estimates for New Zealand

Accurate logistics planning is necessary for sensitive guitar electronics. You should use the shipping calculator to determine the final cost to Auckland, Wellington, or Christchurch. The following estimates apply to a standard humbucker set.

Box Weight and Dimensions

• Box Weight: Approx. 1.2 lbs (0.55 kg) for the set including retail packaging.
• Box Dimensions: Approx. 6 x 4 x 3 inches (15 x 10 x 8 cm).

Volumetric and Battery Considerations

Guitar pickups are compact and heavy for their size. They do not typically trigger volumetric weight charges because they are not bulky. Lollar Imperial pickups are passive electronics. They do not contain lithium batteries. There are no specific hazardous material restrictions for shipping these items to New Zealand. Your freight forwarder can process these as standard small parcels.

Understanding New Zealand import duties and GST

New Zealand law requires the collection of GST on most imported goods. If the value of your Lollar pickups is under NZD $1,000, the process is usually straightforward. For items exceeding this value, import duties and additional processing fees may apply at the border. You should check our guide on GST/VAT for the most current 2026 regulations. Staying informed about customs tax helps avoid unexpected delays at the port of entry. Using a package forwarding specialist ensures that the necessary documentation for New Zealand Customs is handled correctly.
