Twiglet   10 #25 Posted January 29, 2014 I don't know where you got that list from Twitcher, was it the postal service? It might be specific to the carrier not to the country. NZ Customs service merely state that the food must be declared (i.e. on the customs label) so it can be checked, and they certainly don't have that huge list of prohibited items.

hagrid   10 #27 Posted January 29, 2014 With the price of food in NZ I'm surprised you are not sending over a Red Cross food parcel. ( only joking )  We lived there for a while and were gobsmacked at the prices even the NZ Lamb is dearer than the NZ Lamb we buy here in the UK.  Have a look at the Caravans they advertise, it's like going back in time.

Dairy, fish, meat, fruit, vegetables and nuts are the big no-nos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
