Hi All,

We had a long conversation by email with Customs about this as we didn't know how long we were going to spend touring once we got to NZ. They told us that because we had PR, we had 5 years to bring our gear across after we first arrived. MB kept that post as a sticky somewhere. I'll see if I can find it and post the link.......
