Before shipping any vehicle to New Zealand your vehicle must first meet the New Zealand legal requirements. All new and used vehicles, including motorcycles, imported in to New Zealand must be certified by 'Land Transport New Zealand' (Land transport NZ) - approved certifiers as complying with New Zealand legal requirements, before they can be registered for use on public roads The purpose of this certification is to establish that a vehicle was manufactured to comply with relevant approved vehicle standards, and is still within safe tolerance of those standards. The certification process also consists of a physical inspection of a vehicle to ensure that: 1. The vehicle has not been modified, 2. Replaceable components are original, or replacements comply with approved standards and 3. The vehicle and its components and systems are still within safe tolerance of their state when manufactured. For further information please refer to the Land Transport NZ website (Click Here).

If you have a high valued vehicle it is advisable to ship it in either a 20ft or a 40ft container, a full condition report can be arranged and digital photographs taken before the container is sealed with a tamper proof seal. Your vehicle will be completely secured with wheel chocks and straps and once your container is sealed it will be craned on to the vessel ready for the next weekly shipment. The container vessels mostly sail from the port of Felixstowe and Liverpool although we can ship from alternative ports, please ask for details.
