Freight forwarder Mercator Cargo can arrange your export shipping to New Zealand from the UK. We handle commercial export freight, including UK manufactured goods.
Our comprehensive export shipping to New Zealand includes sea and air freight. There are regular sea freight sailings from Southampton, Felixstowe and London Gateway calling at Auckland and Christchurch in New Zealand. In conjunction with our UK hauliers we can transport your shipment to a port quickly and effortlessly. Sea freight to New Zealand takes around 6-7 weeks covering over 15,000 miles (depending upon the route taken). Routes from the UK generally call at the North Island (Auckland) and the South Island (Lyttelton, Christchurch). So no matter your shipments destination, we can arrange to ship it to a port nearby and reduce onward delivery costs.
For air freight shipping to New Zealand the destinations are much the same as sea freight: Auckland and Christchurch. There are several departures daily from the major UK airports. Air freight takes a few days in total (to include loading, transfers, unloading and customs clearance) which is a great deal faster than sea freight, so if you have time constraints on your goods, it might be worth looking at air freight to New Zealand.
Our freight shipping services to New Zealand covers mostly UK manufactured goods. We have regular customers who export their hazardous goods from the UK to New Zealand that require specialist knowledge and ability to complete the required documentation. As long as the shipment is commercial, the nature of your goods is not an issue, we will be able to handle the shipping to New Zealand for you.
Since the trade deal between the UK and New Zealand was signed, UK businesses can benefit from lower or zero tariffs on some goods. This is applicable on both exports to New Zealand and also imports from New Zealand – which we can also handle. We regularly handle the shipping of honey from New Zealand to the UK.
We have a partner agent in New Zealand, based in Auckland who we work with regularly thanks to our founding membership of the freight forwarding network MarcoPoloLine. They take care of our export shipments once they have arrived in New Zealand, arranging essential services such as customs clearance and onward delivery. Our New Zealand agent are, like us, an independent small business, and as such they offer an efficient service for our exports that arrive in New Zealand. We find that having this contact out there really helps our customers to not only feel safe in the knowledge that their cargo is in good hands, but it takes the stress out of trying to find someone who can provide this service. Our freight forwarder service to New Zealand comes in a well formed package, with everything covered, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.
