It is also approximately eighteen kilometers north of Bluff, which is located in the southern part of the South Island.

Importing your vehicle to New Zealand will take some planning, but it can be done. With the assistance of New Zealand Customer Service, you can find out the rules and regulations of the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA). If you want to move to Invercargill, New Zealand, you will need help importing. You can visit Invercargill for a short period, or you can move there for good. All vehicles must be inspected and approved by NZTA before they can be imported and able to drive. Inspecting your car will ensure that your vehicle adheres to the minimal frontal impact standards and has a working and accurate odometer.

The vehicle owner is responsible for obtaining the certificate required to get it legal in New Zealand. New Zealand doesn't have tariffs charged to importing vehicles as long as the cars are being used for personal use. However, this rule does not apply to motorhomes, which means that motorhomes will need to pay the customs duty of 10%. Suppose a vehicle is more than one thousand. In that case, the vehicle's owner will need to pay a minimum of thirty dollars and another seventeen dollars for the biosecurity system entrance fee.

Importing to Invercargill will mean that rules must be followed as set forth by the New Zealand Transport Rules and Regulations. You will need to pay a Goods and Service Tax (GST), which will depend on the value of your vehicle, as well as the freight charges and insurance placed on your vehicle. The current rate is approximately 15% if you move here permanently. You must have documentation to prove that your application information can be verified. Some documents to bring with you include:

international trade vessel
  • Current New Zealand visitor visa or permit.
  • I am returning a residential visa or permit.
  • Valid New Zealand residence visa or permit,
  • Valid New Zealand work permit or visa.
  • Australian passport/ New Zealand passport.

Once the vehicle enters New Zealand, the Ministry of Primary Industries will inspect it and clear it from customs before you can take possession of it. You will have two delivery methods to choose from: Roll-on/Roll-off and container shipping. Both of these options offer safe transit times and faster deliveries.

Container shipping is the one most expensive method of delivery. It involves your vehicle being placed inside the container and then the container sealed up before being loaded onto the ship's deck for the carrier. Container shipping allows you to load all your personal and household items in with the car before the container is sealed. You may also want to consider sharing a container with someone to save money if your items do not fill up the container.

Another popular choice is roll-on/roll-off shipping, which is both the quickest and cheapest way to get a car to New Zealand. You simply pay for your vehicle's space on the transport ship's deck. The car is driven onto the ship's deck and secured there. It is then expelled from New Zealand whenever it arrives there.

You must have copies of all your documents to save time throughout this process. You will need to make copies of the following:

  • Bill of Lading.
  • Insurance invoice.
  • Freight cost estimate.
  • Passport.
  • A commercial invoice with the date of purchase and total paid is needed.
  • Title to the vehicle.
  • Registration.

You will not need to pay any tariff, which can lessen the amount you will pay to import your vehicle to NZ. Working with A1 Auto Transport will ensure that you have a smooth delivery and transit. You can learn more about transport by contacting the Embassy of New Zealand.
