​Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI)
Prior to loading your bike into the container both in the UK and NZ you must:
  • Immaculately clean your bike (including under the mud guards) and ensure there is not dirt or insects. If your bike is not clean when arriving at the container depot in the UK, then it will not be loaded into the container until it is clean.  All bikes must pass MPI  biosecurity inspections once entering into NZ otherwise fumigation charges will result.
New Zealand Customs requirements
  • A written valuation of your motorcycle is required from a local motorcycle dealer to prove its value. 
  • A copy of your ownership papers is required to satisfy New Zealand Customs that you are the legal owner of your motorcycle.  
New Zealand MOT inspection
Once you arrive in New Zealand, we will arrange for a New Zealand Warrant of Fitness (MOT) inspection on your motorbike.  This ensures you are able to ride legally on NZ roads.  However, if your motorbike fails the Warrant of Fitness, we will not be responsible for any charges that are incurred if it is not up to NZ road worthy standards.  This responsibility will be on the owner.
