FAQ

How long does shipping from China to New Zealand take?

Air freight: confirmed with your quote. Times are from Shenzhen or Hong Kong; where a time is not door to door, customs and final delivery can add a few days, and the schedule for your shipment is confirmed when you book.

How much does shipping from China to New Zealand cost per kg?

Published rates: air freight from $5.77/kg. Your price depends on the chargeable weight, the goods and the delivery address: the instant estimate works it out, and a specialist confirms the total, including any duties and taxes.

Are duties and GST included in your New Zealand air rates?

No. The published rates, from 11 kg to Auckland, the North Island and the South Island, are for general goods and exclude duties and GST (15%). We confirm what applies to your goods with the quote.

How are New Zealand air rates priced?

By delivery region (the Auckland urban area, the North Island or the South Island) and by weight break from 11 kg; the per-kg price drops at higher weights. Chargeable weight is the greater of actual and volumetric weight.

What is DDP, and which lines include it?

DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) means the price includes customs clearance, duties and import taxes, so the goods arrive without a separate tax bill. Our air and rail lines to Europe and the UK are DDP. Air usually takes 8–12 days from our Shenzhen warehouse to pickup by UPS (EU) or DPD (UK); China–Europe rail usually takes about 35 days door to door (the train runs about 23–28 days, then customs clearance and delivery by UPS, DHL, DPD or GLS), at about a quarter to a third of the air price. For other lines, your quote states exactly what is included.

How is air freight charged?

By chargeable weight: the greater of actual weight and volumetric weight. Volumetric weight = length × width × height (cm) ÷ 6,000 for air freight, or ÷ 5,000 for express. Per-kg rates drop at higher weight breaks. Sea freight is charged per cubic metre.

Can you ship products with batteries, magnets or liquids?

Our published rates are for general cargo. Special goods need a check first: send us the product details (and the MSDS for batteries, liquids or powders) and we'll confirm whether and how it can ship, and at what price.
