It looks like New Zealand charges a 15% VAT which is applied when New Zealand residents buy anything in Europe but not when New Zealand goods are exported, maybe that could be where the cost is?

There is VAT when you buy in the UK too though. New Zealanders pay 50-100% what those in the UK do for groceries, though this varies depending on how you measure or what you read.
