  • Can I import an older car?

    Yes, cars that are over 20 years old are treated as classic cars and are exempt from meeting many of the standards.

    There are far less requirements for cars built prior to 1990. These vehicles must still be structurally sound, meet New Zealand safety requirements and are required to have an Entry Compliance Inspection similar to newer cars, but are not required to be built to the same recognised standards as newer cars, therefore documented proof of standards compliance may not be required.

  • Where do I begin?

    Fill out an import enquiry form and we can help you

    1. Identify the class of vehicle.

    2. Identify which standards your vehicle must meet.

    3. Identify the requirements needed from the country you are importing from.

    4. Obtain the required documentation (must be originals, not copies, faxes or electronic versions).

    • Legal entitlement (receipt, bill of sale, auction receipt)
    • Proof of registration (registration or de-registration papers, export certificate, certificate of title/origin)
    • Ownership trail which goes as far back as the last registered owner overseas.

    5. Prepare to import (make sure the vehicle arrives clean as it needs to pass a bio-security and a structural inspection before it is released by NZ Customs).

    6. Contact an AA Entry Compliance Centre.

  • Where can cars, bikes, trailers or commercial vehicles be imported from?

    Basically from anywhere, as long as the required standards can be met and acceptable documentation can be provided. As a generalisation, vehicles sold new in one of the recognised markets that New Zealand new vehicles are sourced from are more likely to meet the required standards.

    Vehicles sold new in some markets, particularly some Asian and African countries, may not be built to the standards the New Zealand authorities require.

    All documents must be originals (non-copied) and must be in English or be certified translated into English.
