Japanese Heavy Machinery
Export to New Zealand
New Zealand's agriculture and construction sectors rely heavily on Japanese equipment. Kubota tractors, Yanmar machines, and Komatsu excavators are extremely popular across Kiwi farms and worksites. With short transit times from Nagoya to Auckland (12-16 days) and right-hand drive compatibility, New Zealand is a natural market for Japanese machinery.

Import Regulations & Duties
- New Zealand requires all used machinery to pass MPI biosecurity inspection on arrival. Machines found to have soil or organic contamination on arrival are subject to mandatory on-site cleaning at the importer's cost — which can be expensive and cause significant port delays. We arrange thorough pre-export cleaning in Japan and provide MPI-compliant documentation to help your machine clear biosecurity on first inspection.
- New Zealand applies a standard 5% import duty on most used construction machinery plus GST of 15% on the landed value. Most machinery under HS Chapter 84 is eligible for duty-free entry under the General Tariff or relevant Free Trade Agreement provisions. Confirm applicable duty rate with your New Zealand customs broker before purchase.

Transit time from Japan to Auckland is typically 12-18 days. Christchurch (Lyttelton) and Wellington take similar time. We ship RORO from Japanese ports with regular New Zealand services available.
What biosecurity requirements apply to machinery imported into New Zealand?
New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) has strict biosecurity requirements for all used machinery.

We arrange professional biosecurity cleaning at our Japan facility and provide MPI compliant cleaning declarations.
