Summer update for passengers arriving in 2023-2024
How you can help get checked efficiently by our biosecurity staff on arrival
- Become familiar with the requirements outlined on this page.
- Fill out your digital traveller declaration correctly before arrival so our experienced staff can efficiently and accurately assess biosecurity risk.
- Declare all risk items on your card – like food, plants, wooden products, soil, water, outdoor equipment, and animal products so we can assess and prevent any pests or diseases entering New Zealand.
- Dispose of undeclared risk goods in marked amnesty bins on your arrival to avoid being searched or fined. This material is safely disposed of to remove biosecurity risk.
- Families and groups should stay together to help with efficient processing.
