Bringing things into New Zealand
New Zealand has a strong focus on its biosecurity measures.
This section sets out what travellers should be aware of when bringing things into New Zealand, such as Your Belongings , Your Pets or Other Things. It will also advise on what are considered Risk Items and what needs to be done to get items into the country.
A theme for those arriving for a visit is - if in doubt, declare it. See What You Must Declare and also the Declare It
(243 Kb) brochure for additional information
