What items are not allowed in?
Hi
Is there a list anywhere which details the household goods that you are not allowed to bring over with you when you immigrate? Thanks in advance. |

Will I be able to put teabags in my container?!?! (I'm aware how English this is!!!!):o

Re: What items are not allowed in?
We put tea bags in our suitcase when we went to visit last time. I put them in the pocket at the front. I told customs and they waved us through. If they had said no I would have just taken them out and put them in a bin so I would think they are OK in your container.
Having said that their tea bags are OK because when I used our own they did not taste the same as at home so it must be the water. Remember they are upside down there as well. LOL June |

and http://www.biosecurity.govt.nz/enter/declare I've heard about people not taking in feather duvets cane furniture, wooden stuff etc. We took all of these things and it was no problem. Things of ours that MAF wanted to look at were vacuum cleaner tent hiking stuff bikes garden stuff I think that was it. Just clean these things.We were allowed everything we packed. |

We have had a couple of shipping companies out to quote and they all say no wicker, as in chairs, baskets etc. Apparently MAF can apply a $35 cleaning fee per item, whatever size, and you have to pay, there is no longer a "just biff it option" due to the masses of stuff people were chancing to bring in!

Re: What items are not allowed in?
we bought over wicker sofa, baskets, tent, bikes, hoover and wine
all the packers said no, we did not have any problems, to be honest MAF are more interested in xmas decs that might have pine cones on this is an absolute no and they will be ripped of the decoration if they are found. |
