Re: moving furniture and car
we moved ours, you will have to pay for inspections, registration, and road tax.
first get it checked out with theaa. to see if it would pass the inspection.
email: [email protected]. and answer these questions. If you copy the text of the questions then put the answers in it you should hear back fairly quickly. The prices quoted were for 2012 so might of gone up a bit.
Can you please tell me:
Make
Model
Type of fuel (petrol/diesel)
Date of first registration
How long you have owned it
Expected port of entry in NZ
Can you also send me a picture of the EC Type approval plate (see attachment) and perhaps a copy of the V5? We are looking for the approval number which starts with the letter “e”. This approval number tells us if your car meets some or hopefully all of the required standards. Once I know what we are dealing with, I can advise you if you need to get more information or evidence.
As an immigrant to NZ, you may meet the criteria for an immigrant exemption. This would allow the entry-certification without having o meet the frontal impact and the emission standard. All other standards have to be met.
For a petrol vehicle allow about NZ$1000 for entry-certification and first registration or about NZ$1400 for a diesel.
Other than de-registering the vehicle and making sure it arrives clean, there is nothing else you really need to do at this stage. You only need to get further evidence for the compliance standards if the car doesn’t have an “e” number.
Make sure you can prove that you own it (receipt, bill of sale) and that it was registered (V5). A V5 with your name on will do for both.

Bring everything, white goods, the lot.
Credit rating: nope - you are starting again from scratch, sorry.
