    Why not just ask the Federal people who give permission for imports.

    Yes, I think that you will find that the first thing that you need is an import certificate.

    Just beware, while your vehicle is under the control of the authorities...you are a cash cow, with no alternative but to do what they say and pay when they say pay.

    I brought a few vehicles with us from Oz to NZ. 2 of them were nigh on in showroom condition, as new(and I thoroughly cleaned them prior to import)...still we had to pay $1500 to have them put on a 'special truck' to be taken a couple of km down the road to be officially 'cleaned'.

    My Oz made falcon, which were sold new here in NZ, imported from Oz, apparently would have been going back to Oz, or to the scrap yard, had I not owned it previously before I brought it with me to NZ...their reasoning...the emissions standards didn't meet NZ standards??. I had to pay $200 and promise not to sell it for year.

    My County, they gave me a list of things that needed doing for it to be 'roadworthy', had to put it into a workshop near the port of entry and pay $2500 for 'repairs'. I also had to get a letter from JLA Australia to confirm that the county was manufactured with an isuzu diesel fitted.

    As I said, I was in their hands, no choice but to pay up, or you don't get your vehicle on the road. In my case, as annoying and costly as it was, it was still worth it. AND having owned the vehicles in another country before I brought them in, helped hugely.

    Just go into it with all the information and your eyes wide open. As someone else suggested, maybe contact the appropriate authorities and get that information beforehand so that you know what you are up for.
