由 lltx1822 China-New Zealand Ocean Freight: Precautions and Risks
New Zealand shipping focuses on biosecurity. All goods need MPI pre-clearance, with wooden packaging requiring ISPM 15 and heat treatment. A Fujian furniture shipment was destroyed for pine beetles, costing NZD 60,000.
Quarantine delays are common: food products take 7-10 days for lab testing. Wine exports need NZFSA’s food safety certification. Cold chain shipments (dairy) require -18°C containers with GPS temperature logs.
Packaging must be eco-friendly: use biodegradable foam and water-based inks. Labels need English-only content per NZ standards.
