In fact, New Zealand is one of the most popular destinations we ship to from the USA.

How Much Does Military Shipping to New Zealand Cost?

The cost of shipping a car to New Zealand from the USA will vary, but it generally starts at around USD1500. Keep in mind, that’s only the cost of hiring a slot on the ship for your car. You will pay extra for duty payments, port clearance charges, taxes and other charges.

The good news is that in New Zealand, you do not need to pay duty on a vehicle that you are importing for personal use. Most countries impose duty on all car imports, including for the military.

The total that you will pay will depend on other factors, too, including the size of your car and distance from the port if our drivers are bringing your car for you. We won’t know an exact price until you contact us for a free quote.
