Car Import for a Permanent Stay.

If you plan to move to Rotorua, New Zealand on a temporary basis or if you plan to return to New Zealand as a resident after living abroad, you will want to know the best way to transport your vehicle. Your vehicle will need to be allocated with the certificate by NZTA approved certifier. This is a certificate that ensures the vehicle qualifies for the vehicle standards in New Zealand and it meets the minimal requirement for the type and age of the vehicle. This inspection is based on a variety of aspects of the car such as your vehicle needs to qualify for the minimal frontal impact standardization and have a working odometer.

You as the importer will hold the responsibility for getting the vehicle certified before you can register the vehicle. You will need to contact the New Zealand Transport Agency to do that. New Zealand will not offer tariff on imported vehicles as long as they are for personal use. This reduces the cost that you will have to pay.
