Customs & documentation for New Zealand
New Zealand charges GST (15%) on imported goods valued over NZD 1,000 (approx £480). Below this threshold, most personal imports are duty-free. NZ has extremely strict biosecurity laws — MPI (Ministry for Primary Industries) inspects all incoming parcels for biological material.
Tips for sending to New Zealand
- Biosecurity is taken very seriously. Never send food, seeds, plant material, soil or animal products without checking MPI rules first.
- Delivery can take longer to rural areas. South Island addresses and small towns may add 2–4 days.
- NZ Post handles last-mile delivery for most economy services once the parcel clears customs.
- Include a NZ phone number (+64). Required for customs notifications.
- Time zone difference is 12–13 hours. Factor this in when tracking shipments.
