The short answer
Personal and household items shipped to New Zealand are cleared with the New Zealand Customs Service form NZCS 218, Bring personal household items into New Zealand. Customs lists the documents that go with it: a copy of your passport (photo ID), a packing list, purchase invoices or receipts, and an MPI (Ministry for Primary Industries) supplementary biosecurity declaration.
Checklist
- Form NZCS 218
- A copy of your passport photo page
- A packing list of everything in the shipment (our shipping data sheet produces it)
- Purchase invoices or receipts where you have them
- The MPI supplementary biosecurity declaration
Before you book
New Zealand checks every shipment for biosecurity. Clean shoes, outdoor gear, bikes and garden tools before packing, and describe each item in plain words, for example “used tent, cleaned and dry”.
How Get It All Service ApS helps
We collect your boxes, furniture or pallets at your door anywhere in Denmark and ship them to your New Zealand address. Our shipping data sheet asks the New Zealand questions, builds the packing list and lets you upload the passport copy and receipts. Basic transport insurance is included. See also shipping belongings abroad from Denmark and our international freight service.
Packing for the journey
Your goods travel a long way to New Zealand, so packing matters. Use strong boxes, tape every seam and write the contents on each box. Wrap furniture legs and corners, and take apart what can be taken apart. Before we load, we check that the packaging is ready for export and that the documents match the goods.
- Boxes: strong export boxes, taped on every seam and labelled with the contents.
- Pallets: wrapped, strapped and labelled, with the gross weight marked.
- Fragile items: wrapped one by one and marked clearly on the outside of the box.
- Crates: for items that need extra protection, custom wooden crates are quoted on request after we see the item.
Your list of goods
A clear list makes every shipment easier. Our shipping data sheet collects every item with quantity and value. Describe each item in plain words, for example “used sofa, three-seater” or “box of books”, and give an honest replacement value for everything together. Keep a copy of the list yourself, so you can check that everything has arrived when the goods reach New Zealand.
Collection anywhere in Denmark
We collect from your home, office, a warehouse or an agreed collection point anywhere in Denmark, so you never need to bring anything to us. If your goods are not ready to leave at the same time as you, they can wait at our warehouse in Albertslund until the agreed shipping date. See storage with collection and delivery.
What affects the price
- Volume and weight. Bulky items can have a chargeable weight that is higher than their actual weight.
- The delivery address in New Zealand and how easy it is to reach.
- The collection address in Denmark. The first 20 km from our base in Albertslund are included, then DKK 21 per km one way.
- The number of boxes, items and pallets, and whether anything needs extra packing.
You get a fixed price in writing before anything moves, and we reply within 2 to 24 hours. Business prices are excl. 25% VAT.
Good to know
We ship legal items only, and every shipment needs a full declaration of its contents. Gas bottles, fuel, paint, aerosols and loose batteries cannot go in the boxes. Duties, taxes, import permissions and clearance at the destination remain your responsibility unless we confirm otherwise in writing.
