FAQ
DSV offers a wide range of transport options, including air freight, sea freight, and XPress deliveries. Our air freight service is ideal for time-critical shipments, while sea freight provides a cost-effective solution for larger volumes. For urgent deliveries, we offer XPress services, ensuring priority handling for the fastest possible transit time.
Air freight to New Zealand typically takes between 2 and 7 days, depending on the route and time for customs clearance. For sea freight via Rotterdam or Antwerp to and from major New Zealand ports such as Auckland, Wellington, and Lyttelton (Christchurch), the transit time generally ranges from 55 to 75 days, depending on the exact route and stopovers. With DSV's advanced track & trace systems, you can monitor your shipments in real-time and always stay informed about their status.
Transport costs are determined by factors such as volume, weight, the chosen shipping method, and any applicable customs duties. Please contact us for a customised quote.
For transport to New Zealand, you will generally need a commercial invoice, a packing list, a Bill of Lading (B/L) or Air Waybill (AWB), and possibly a certificate of origin. New Zealand enforces strict customs regulations, particularly regarding biosecurity, meaning certain products may require additional inspections or permits.
For sea freight, the main ports are Auckland, Wellington, Lyttelton (Christchurch), and Tauranga. For air freight, we frequently use Auckland Airport, Christchurch Airport, and Wellington Airport. Thanks to our strong presence in these strategic logistics hubs, we can ensure fast and efficient transport solutions.
New Zealand enforces strict biosecurity regulations to protect its unique flora and fauna. This means that import shipments, particularly those containing food products, plants, animal products, and wooden packaging, are subject to thorough inspections and quarantine procedures.
Goods that do not meet the biosecurity standards set by the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) may face delays, additional checks, or even rejection. In some cases, pre-treatment such as fumigation or heat treatment is mandatory to comply with import requirements.
DSV ensures that your shipment meets all regulations, allowing your goods to clear customs without unnecessary delays and be delivered efficiently.
