New Zealand Moving is quite different from Australia and Canada. There are two main points: First, whether it is the sea transportation door of new goods or the moving and consignment of old goods in New Zealand, the consignee himself does not need to go to the customs to answer questions. He only needs to provide the consignee information and arrange the entire process. Secondly, New Zealand Customs stipulates that containers cannot be directly pulled to their personal address, and they need to find a warehouse near the dock to dismantle the cabinet, and then deliver it to the door by truck.
As for the difference between it and ordinary shipping doors, it is still that moving and consigning can apply for tax exemption. Then, the conditions required for duty-free are:
1, just immigrated to New Zealand, or the second shipment within five years after getting a green card.
2. The goods for shipping are very complicated. In addition to large furniture, there are also trivial daily necessities, such as bedding, tableware, collections, toys, clothes, books, tools, accessories, etc.
3. The goods for shipping are all old items.
meets the above conditions, so you can basically apply for tax exemption as a private item. But the restriction on the third point: the goods consigned are all old goods. Many customers cannot meet this point. After all, if you are moving, you will buy some new goods to ship together (such as furniture, home appliances, tableware, etc.). Isn’t this tax-free? Of course the answer is not. For how to deal with this, please consult our online customer service directly.
Next we will introduce the process of moving and consignment and precautions:
First, the information required for moving and consignment in New Zealand is divided into three parts:
1, the shipping owner's information (name, phone number, address, ID card scan)
2, the list of goods (name, material, number of packaging parts, specific quantity, amount)
3. Consignee information (name, phone number, address, passport scan)
2. What should I bring when moving and consignment is in New Zealand:
Generally speaking, the things that move customers bring are ordinary goods, and do not involve politics, movie discs, drugs, dangerous goods (of course they cannot be brought). What should be paid attention to are some of: food (meat), wine (including alcohol, ignition), medicine (cold medicine is OK, health products and other medicines are not allowed). Generally, these are the only ones, please consult with special items. New Zealand Customs is relatively relaxed for immigration and moving customers, and most of them can be carried.
3. The process of moving and consignment in New Zealand:
1. Let’s briefly talk about the entire process: goods entering the warehouse, loading cabinets, fumigation, customs declaration, dock payment, sea transportation, customs clearance of the destination port, unloading cabinets or customs inspection, loading truck delivery, unloading, assembling furniture, signing for collection.
Among them, the processes that customers are present in: cabinet installation, destination port dismantling cabinets, unloading goods, and assembling furniture.
A: Since the cabinet is the designated address of the shipper (the goods can also be concentrated in my Guangzhou warehouse), the customer usually arranges the four local workers. Occasionally, we also provide workers to install the cabinet at home.
B: Dedicated cabinets at the destination port. Since the delivery address is a private address, the container customs will not pull it over. Our company will arrange for the warehouse decomposition of cabinets near the dock (trailer, manual arrangements by our company). Because most of the containers are private items, the consignee can go to the on-site supervision of the decomposition of cabinets if they have time. If the customs check the goods, it will also go to check it at this time.
C: Unloading and assembling furniture, these are the steps taken at the consignee's home in New Zealand. The customs checked that the goods were not special. After the goods were released, our company arranged for the truck to be loaded and delivered to the customer's home. And arrange for customers to unload goods to the garage, assemble furniture, and sign for them.
Note: (Tips on shipping process)
1. New Zealand customers who pack cabinets need to arrange to unbox the cabinet after the container arrives at the destination port before delivering the goods to the consignee's home by truck. Therefore, try not to be too scattered in terms of packaging. If there are fragile products, it is necessary to indicate them on the packaging to avoid accidental collisions during the unboxing.
2. New Zealand is very strict with the quarantine of wood. If the goods are packaged with wooden racks (such as new furniture purchased, generally manufacturers will make wooden racks), it is necessary to emphasize that the wooden racks cannot have bark and mold, otherwise the New Zealand customs requires local destruction of goods to be considered a light punishment.
