Postage due stamps were used in New Zealand from the 1st of December 1899 to speed up the collection of short-paid postage. The stamps were applied by the post office delivering the mail. The value that was charged was normally double the amount of postage the mail was short by.

The design is simply a large figure in red or pink surrounded by a green frame. The design was copied from the postage due stamps of Victoria which were current when the stamps were issued.
