What can be sent as Removals to New Zealand from UK?

As an international shipping company, there is nothing that we don’t ship. However, every country has their own customs regulations of items that are prohibited or restricted for importation and, unfortunately, New Zealand is no exception. So, although we can ship anything, we have to comply with New Zealand’s law – if they allow it, we can ship it! For a comprehensive list of prohibited and restricted items, get in touch with your move manager or take a look at New Zealand’s Fidi Guide for all the information you need.

How much does it cost to move to New Zealand?

Our international removal service to New Zealand can be customised to meet specific customer requirements, from varying budgets to tight time frames. We can send your goods to New Zealand via air freight or sea freight, both of which have their benefits for different customers. Air freight will get your goods to their destination a lot quicker than sea freight, however sea freight is a much more cost effective method. With sea freight, there are also a range of container options that you can choose from, to ensure that you get the best price for your move. The cheapest container option is to ship your belongings via shared container, but it all depends on the volume that you are moving. We have a regular Groupage service that goes into the likes of Lyttleton, Auckland and Wellington from various ports in the UK. Alternatively, for larger home removals to New Zealand, we recommend using a dedicated shipping container removal. You will pay one flat rate for a 20ft or 40ft shipping container, which is for your exclusive use and you can fill the container how you wish – even with a vehicle! Our packing services also vary in costs. You can either choose to pack yourself, or you can let our experienced team of packers do it for you. Our owner pack service is likely to be on the cheaper side, however we take responsibility for the packing then you can be sure your belongings will be safe during transit. Your move coordinator will be able to discuss our international removals services with you in greater detail and talk through the best options for your requirements for your New Zealand removal.

Do I need to declare my goods when shipping them to New Zealand?

Yes, you will need to declare your items so they can be imported into the country, as they are being shipped unaccompanied. You will need to declare your items using the Unaccompanied Personal Baggage Declaration form. Luckily, New Zealand allow you to complete this form prior to shipment, which helps to speed up the process. You can find the form here . If you get stuck, we’re more than happy to talk you through the form and answer any questions you have about New Zealand customs information.

Do I need to take out insurance when moving my goods to New Zealand?

Even though our expert packers and movers take great care when handling your goods, you never know what could happen during their journey so it is always a good idea to take out our transit insurance just for peace of mind. However, if you choose to pack your goods yourself then you won’t be able to take out the insurance policies we offer. We recommend you discussing your available options with your Move Manager and they can run through our insurance policy in greater detail.
