Starlink kits are subject to the same rules as all imports to the Cook Islands. There is no import duty payable on the kits, but they are subject to 15% VAT on importation.  

 

If imported through normal channels such as mail, courier or freight systems importers will pay 15% VAT on the price of the kits plus the costs of bringing them to the Cook Islands. There will also be associated costs such as import entry fees and Customs Brokers charges which will vary according to transport mode.

 

If a kit is purchased overseas and accompanies a passenger to the Cook Islands, then that passenger may claim their $750 duty and VAT free allowance for the kit. If the kit cost more than $750 then the passenger will have to pay VAT on the amount over $750. The  passenger concession does not apply to commercial goods. Please note that failure to correctly declare your overseas purchases on arrival is an offence and may result in seizure of the goods and a fine.

 

If you have any questions, please call our friendly team on 29510 or email customs.info@cookislands.gov.ck

It is highly addictive due to the Escape Road City 2 ease of use of the controls. The only directions are left and right, but it feels like a full-length action film!

The fun thing about fnf is that the more you nail your beats, the better your music gets. The game makes you a part of the music. That feeling makes each FNF match feel like a personal performance, where rhythm is the only language.

That's really good to know, especially the specific $750 limit for duty-free items for passengers in the Cook Islands. I always worry about customs rules being vague, so having that clear number is helpful. It's also a serious warning about not declaring purchases—seizure and a fine sounds like a huge risk to take just to save a bit of VAT on the amount over the allowance. Thanks for clarifying that! ragdoll hit

Both casual players searching for quick enjoyment and serious gamers seeking a real test of ability will find Space Waves appealing because it is simple to learn but challenging to master. You should not miss Space Waves if you like rhythm games that seamlessly combine sound and action.
