If i place an order in a foreign country, NZ for example, today, It won't arrive before the new VAT rate takes effect. So which rate is charged?

I assume you are paying for it prior to dispatch? In which case the tax point will be when it is ordered/dispatched, nice and clear cut.
Just get them to mark it as 'low value gift' for VAT/customs purposes... Can cause problems if he courier losses it though.
