Clearing customs at the New Zealand border
You need to create an inventory โ which is just a fancy name for a packing list โ of all the items youโre bringing into New Zealand. The Kiwis run a very strict quarantine system, which means almost all shipments are physically inspected. Risky items include tyres, diamonds, and plant and animal products (including food and accessories). You can bring your household goods and personal belongings into New Zealand duty-free, but you must have owned and used these items before your move. Youโll also need to hold a residence visa or a long-term work permit. Our suppliers will usually help you through this process, but itโs also a good idea to consult your nearest New Zealand embassy for more information.Popular shipping ports in New Zealand
