Used Cars Import Rules and Regulations in New Zealand

Age Restriction

There is no age restriction for car import in New Zealand.

Right-Hand Drive Vehicles

You can import right-hand drive vehicles into the country 

There are restrictions on the import of left-hand drive (LHD) vehicles, and left-hand drive vehicles (LHD) are converted to right-hand drive vehicles before registering and driving on the road in New Zealand.

Inspection

Before importing a vehicle into New Zealand from Japan, JEVIC and Quarantine inspection (MAF Biosecurity) must be done in Japan. 

Moreover, all the used vehicles from Japan need to pass through Biosecurity clearance as they might contain several biosecurity contaminants, including high-risk pest species such as the Lymantria diaper (Asian gypsy moth). This is done to determine the type and degree of slippage. 

Road Worthiness Check

The vehicles must undergo compliance checks before they can be driven on New Zealand roads. Keep in mind that if your vehicle has chassis damage, it will fail the compliance check, and you will have to pay a massive amount in repair costs.

Import Duties and Taxes on Used Cars in New Zealand

Generically, no tariff duty is applied on automobiles, and they are only subjected to a 15% sales tax.

Documents Required for Import of Vehicle in New Zealand

  • Original commercial invoice 

  • Original certificate of registration and title 

  • Bill of lading (BL) 

  • Original invoice

  • ID card/passport copy

  • Vehicle license document or insurance certificate 

  • New Zealand Customs Client Code Application.
