QUARANTINE INSPECTION FEES:

Please note that it is very likely that a physical inspection may be required by MPI Biosecurity New Zealand. If so, quarantine inspection service charges will be collected direct from the consignee if not prepaid. The fees can vary depending on the extent of the inspection required. Our fees cover all attendances relating to the MPI Biosecurity inspection, including arranging the same, liaison with MPI Biosecurity, location of items for inspection, attendance by accredited personnel, obtaining final release documents, all MPI Biosecurity charges, and all other incidental costs and administration.

Important note:

Recently there has been a major emphasis on items of quarantine interest which are declared by shippers, but not clearly identifiable or not listed at all on the packing inventory. This makes it difficult to locate the items at the time of inspection with the MPI officer. In the event MPI requests a search to locate declared item(s), (which are not clearly noted on the packing inventory) there will be an additional fee of NZ$ 90 per hour or part thereof, incl. GST applicable for assistance to MPI for locating quarantine items (minimum charge NZ$ 45.00) to cover labour charges, unpacking & repacking.   

STRUCTURAL INSPECTION CHARGES FOR MOTOR VEHICLES:

All motor vehicles and motorcycles are subject to a structural inspection by an independent organisation on behalf of the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA). Please budget for the below additional charges. 

Motor vehicle = NZ$ 185.00

PORT SERVICE CHARGES / THC:

Destination rates do not include New Zealand port service charges / THC which must be added (if not prepaid). These are estimated charges and are subject to change and will be invoiced at actual cost plus a 15% admin fee. Port charges for shipments arriving through a NVOCC/LCL forwarder are considerably higher than charges received directly from the shipping line.
