FAQ

Can I fill my vehicle with stuff and ship it from USA to NZ?

It is possible to fill your vehicle with items when shipping, but only if your vehicle is transported within a shipping container from the USA to NZ. Any items you choose to include must be declared to New Zealand Customs & MPI upon arrival or to the relevant authority of the destination country, so keep a detailed record of everything you pack within the vehicle. If you’re using the Roll on Roll off method, you will not be permitted to ship anything within the vehicle. For inquiries about permissible cargo, feel free to get in touch with Rocket Freight.

Is it worth shipping my vehicle from USA to NZ?

That entirely depends on your individual circumstances. If the car is a left-hand drive and in good condition (meets the NZ car compliance standards), then there’s nothing to say you shouldn’t bring your car with you, especially if you are immigrating to NZ, or are a returning resident. 

How can I ship a vehicle from USA to NZ?

First, gather key details about the vehicle you’ve selected: its year, make, model, and the American port for shipping. Next, contact a shipping company like Rocket Freight to handle the shipment. Importing a vehicle from the USA to New Zealand is among the simplest global import/export processes, owing to the strong ties between the two countries.
