Customs advice for shipping to New Zealand
Customs requirements
New Zealand has very strict customs restrictions and if your parcel looks at all suspicious then it will be investigated. Not only are the New Zealand authorities very active on the drug importation issue but also with issues relating to the biosecurity of the nation.
However, the main categories of prohibited/restricted items currently covered include:
- Agricultural items and food
- Chewing tobacco
- False or misleading goods
- Trout and trout products
- Tires
Prohibited items
To protect children from toxic elements (such as lead, mercury, and chromium) in their graphic materials, there are strict controls on importing children's watercolor paints, finger paints, and crayons.
Objectional material - films, videos, computer games, DVDs, CD-ROMs, books, posters, music recordings, magazines, photographs, paintings, t-shirts and computer files.
