Roll-On\/Roll-Off (RORO) Car Shipping<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

RORO is often the most cost-effective option for moving a car from Australia to New Zealand.. Your vehicle is driven directly onto the vessel at the Australian port and driven off upon arrival in New Zealand. It’s a straightforward, reliable method well-suited to standard road-registered vehicles and high-volume shipments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Importing a Car from Australia to New Zealand: Regulations You Need to Know<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Importing a car from Australia to NZ involves several regulatory steps. Here’s an overview of the key requirements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vehicle Standards and Entry Certification<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

New Zealand has specific vehicle standards that imported vehicles must meet before they can be used on the road. A vehicle being registered and used in another country does not automatically mean it will meet New Zealand’s requirements<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biosecurity and Cleaning<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Your vehicle must be thoroughly cleaned inside and out before shipping to New Zealand. This reduces the risk of carrying unwanted contaminants and pests, which can cause delays at the border. <\/a>Your car must be free of soil, plant material, and food. On arrival, MPI (Ministry for Primary Industries)<\/a> will inspect your vehicle, and non-compliance can result in fines, delays, or refusal of entry<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customs Clearance<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A licensed customs broker will manage your import entry clearance with the New Zealand Customs Service. Jacanna’s experienced customs brokerage team handles this on your behalf, minimising compliance risks and keeping your shipment moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
