New Zealand Import Export Cars Market

Importing a second hand car in New Zealand was pretty easy few years back, but due to change in custom rules and regulations and the authorities, the process has become a bit tough now. There are a lot of private vendors available online who are in this business from a very long time and are well versed with the people in the authorities too.

You can import cars from the USA to New Zealand at a less price through shipping. USA authorities are also bit strict as you need to prove your ownership for the car at the time of exporting the car from their ports. Generally, the private vendors available at New Zealand charge less than $1000 to import cars.

Custom Duty at the New Zealand port is around 36% to export the car outside the country. This transfer is only possible if you can show the residence transfer proof. Without these documents, you cannot export cars outside the country as it is not permissible under their laws.

Companies that are available online take care of everything from picking the car, getting it cleared at the customs and delivering to the final destination. All these are available at a very reasonable price these days due to stiff competition.

There are different categories for the payment of import duty at the customs depending on the billing date of the vehicle and also on the number of owners of the vehicle in the past. Normal depreciation rate for the govt here is about 75%.
