International Container Shipping From and To New Zealand
Whether your cargo is arriving from Asia, Australia or the Pacific, or heading out to global markets, Container Transport handles full container load (FCL) shipping to and from New Zealand. As an independent freight broker, we select the best carrier and routing for your specific shipment — keeping costs competitive and timelines reliable. Our team manages all documentation, port coordination and MPI liaison, so your freight moves smoothly in both directions from the first mile to the last.
Container Transport provides international container shipping across all major New Zealand ports, including Auckland, Tauranga, Lyttelton, Port Chalmers, Napier and Wellington. We work with the world’s leading carriers — PIL, COSCO, Maersk, MSC and CMA CGM — to move FCL shipments on established trade lanes to and from Asia, the Middle East, North America and Europe. Whether you are shipping New Zealand products to Shanghai, Rotterdam or Los Angeles, or receiving goods from Singapore, Dubai or beyond, we have the carrier relationships and route knowledge to get your freight there reliably and at competitive rates.
Our door-to-door international freight service covers the full journey in both directions. For exports, we coordinate truck collection from your New Zealand address, transport to the port of loading, and ocean freight to your destination port. For imports, we manage the inbound ocean leg, port handling and onward delivery to your door. Container Transport also holds a licensed customs brokerage for both imports and exports — handling all documentation, tariff classification, duty payments and MPI biosecurity requirements on your behalf, so your freight clears the border without delay. There is no need to manage multiple providers or navigate complex international logistics alone.
We work with New Zealand importers and exporters of all sizes, from single container shipments through to regular bookings on key international trade lanes. Our team can advise on the best shipping and customs clearance option for your cargo, timeline and budget.
