Full Details

Initial classification only — pending editorial verification. Dairy Products sent to New Zealand typically requires an accurate customs declaration on the CN22 / CN23 label, may attract duty + VAT above the personal-import threshold, and in some cases needs a permit (medication / food / cultural property). Mailers should consult New Zealand Customs Service (NZCS) for the current parcel rule and threshold values.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Declare the contents accurately on the CN22 / CN23 label. New Zealand Customs Service (NZCS) computes duty + VAT above the destination's de-minimis threshold. Keep purchase receipts available in case the consignee receives a clearance notice.
