, you are required by law (Customs and Excise Act 2018) to use a licensed customs broker to lodge documentation with the New Zealand Customs Service.

Whether you are clearing a one-off international shipment or managing regular import and export activity, our team handles the process from start to finish so you don’t have to.

New Zealand’s Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) plays a major role in border protection, and compliance with biosecurity requirements is just as important as customs clearance for many shipments.
