Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for the tip with regard to having items shipped to Auckland, and then land-transported from there. I hadn't thought of that! It's worth looking into.
I recently read on the NZ Immigration website that there is a "Change To Household goods"....here's the info:
Change to household goods rules
Thursday, October 11, 2007
The rules around the duty-free entry of household goods will change from 15 November. People who hold long-term temporary visas (such as long-term business and work to residence visas) will not have to pay any Customs duty on their baggage and effects, including ships, aircraft, motor vehicles, and household effects.
The full list of people who do not have to pay Customs duty on their baggage and effects, including ships, aircraft, motor vehicles, and household effects includes people who hold:
a New Zealand passport
an Australian passport
a current New Zealand residence visa or permit, or current returning resident?s visa or permit
a current permanent residence visa (including a resident return visa) issued by the Government of the Commonwealth of Australia
