Contact For Importing Car Parts From Europe (England)

[handgrenade 189]

Hi All

Asking on behalf, does anyone have any contacts for an importer who has the licenses etc to bring in car parts (total worth 10k+) into New Zealand from the UK?Preferably someone who is well established etc. A colleague wants to bring in a bunch of MG? parts for some kit cars and old cars he has - the parts are heavy (like diffs and gearboxes etc) and is happy to pay for shipping, taxes and customs etc due to that the parts are so much cheaper from the UK and also Brexit helping the exchange rate.

 

Thanks!

I don't think there's any reason why you can't manage this yourself.

However, as the shipment is over NZ$1,000 he'll need a client code. You get this by completing the NZCS 224 form on the Customs website.

There will probably be inspections and so on needed, and (of course) duties, taxes and fees.

True. The powers that be are more likely to pass a container from a known agent through without inspection than they are to not inspect something from a random individual.

And that inspection (if undertaken) will cost the importer, too.

Thanks for your responses.

Apologies if I used the wrong nomenclature. 

The guy is looking for an agent who will help him sort it all out. He doesn't mind paying whatever fees as long as they are reasonable, he just doesnt have the time or logistical knowledge perhaps to sort it himself. So if anyone knows a decent 'agent' or logistics coordinator who deals with this magnitude of car parts, then it would be great to get a contact reference!

Cheers!
