New Zealand: An overview

Of a similar size and with a similar climate to the UK, stunningly beautiful New Zealand is an extremely popular destination for expats. Although its location in the South Pacific may seem dauntingly far away, we have long been undertaking relocations there and you can rest assured we will smooth the way from start to finish of your move, leaving you to enjoy everything ‘The Land of the Long White Cloud’ has to offer.

New Zealand Customs and quarantine regulations

Your Move Manager will oversee your move throughout and be able to guide you through New Zealand’s Customs and quarantine regulations as they apply to your individual circumstances.

What should I do with the things I can’t take?

There are some items you may not be permitted to import into New Zealand, and there will probably be others you don’t need to take but would like to keep. The answer is to store them in our secure and well-maintained storage facilities, where you can access them at any time during working hours.

How long will it take to ship my possessions?

It depends on the method of shipment you choose. Moving your goods as a Full Container Load will take approximately 6-8 weeks door-to-door, while a shared container (Groupage) will take around 10-12 weeks. Your Move Manager will supply a schedule covering the expected transit time for your particular move.
