Shipping a campervan between New Zealand and Australia can feel overwhelming—with conflicting advice and endless red tape, it’s hard to know where to begin.
That’s where The Shipper comes in. We’re specialists in moving oversized vehicles like campervans, caravans, and RVs across the Tasman. Whether you’re importing to NZ or exporting to Australia, we’ve got the process down to a science.
With deep knowledge of customs, logistics, and compliance requirements, we make sure your vehicle gets from port to port without the hassle.
We’re here to take the stress out of the paperwork and walk you through the import process, step by step.
From helping you gather the necessary documents—like a bill of sale, ID (passport or driver’s license), and your NZ Customs Import Client Code—to recommending trusted compliance agents, we make the journey smoother. You’ll need to appoint an authorised agent to carry out inspections for electrical systems, gas fitting, and self-containment—but don’t worry, we’ve got connections to help.
At The Shipper, we’re known for hassle-free loading, reliable delivery, and clear communication. Whether you’re bringing a caravan into NZ or sending one across the Tasman, we handle the logistics, pick-up, delivery to your chosen location, and all export documentation.
Before arrival in New Zealand, make sure your caravan, campervan, or RV is clean and free of dirt and debris—quarantine services may require additional cleaning otherwise. All vehicles must also pass inspections for gas, electrical, braking systems, tow bars, and exhaust emissions to ensure compliance with local safety standards.
Good news — importing a caravan or campervan from Australia to New Zealand is straightforward! Thanks to similar road standards (think widths, towing limits, and compliance), Australia is one of the easiest places to import from.
We offer a hassle-free roll-on, roll-off shipping service that covers all major ports across Australia and NZ.
Pricing is simple and fair — based on the size of your vehicle (per cubic metre), with no hidden fees.
