FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
What determines air freight transit time from the USA to New Zealand?
Transit time depends on the departure gateway, the carrier’s schedule and frequency on the lane, the commodity, and how quickly clearance is completed on arrival. We quote the transit for your specific shipment rather than a generic figure.
How is air freight from the USA to New Zealand priced?
Air freight is charged on the greater of actual and volumetric weight, plus origin handling, security screening, and destination charges. Duties and taxes are assessed separately by the authorities. We quote the all-in cost for your shipment before booking.
What New Zealand customs requirements apply?
Clearance is handled by NZCS. The consignee needs a New Zealand Customs client code and an NZBN. New Zealand Customs separates prohibited items, never allowed in, from restricted items needing a permit; the list covers medicines, biosecurity risk goods, endangered species, firearms and objectionable material.
Which New Zealand airports receive air freight from the USA?
We route through Auckland (AKL), Christchurch (CHC), Wellington (WLG), with onward delivery beyond the gateway.
Is pre-shipment certification required?
WorkSafe New Zealand administers the Electricity (Safety) Regulations: high and medium risk electrical goods need an approval or a Supplier Declaration of Conformity before supply.
Is there a trade agreement between the USA and New Zealand?
Goods are assessed under normal MFN tariff rates (there is no US-New Zealand free trade agreement).
What documents are needed?
Air waybill, commercial invoice, packing list, import entry lodged through the Trade Single Window under the importer’s client code, and MPI documentation for biosecurity risk goods.
What else should I plan for on this lane?
Every consignment needs MPI biosecurity clearance on top of customs clearance, and wood packaging must carry a legible ISPM 15 mark or an approved treatment certificate; non-compliant packaging is treated at the importer’s cost.
