When you need to import a campervan to NZ, it can be hard to know where to start – especially with all the confusing, conflicting information out there.
The best approach is to work with a shipping agent. At The Shipper, we know the ins and outs of getting oversized cargo across the line. We’re specialists in importing campervans to NZ from Australia, and from Australia to NZ. That includes caravans and RVs, too.
Our knowledge of the import process and everything that surrounds it gets you from port to port with ease.
We make the paperwork a little less painful and take you through the import process, step-by-step.
We’ll guide you on the documents you need, such as a bill of sale, a scanned copy of your passport or driver’s license, and an NZ customs import client code or application. You’ll need to appoint an authorised agent to carry out compliance on the vehicle for electrical, gas and self-containment, but we can help by recommending agents.
People choose The Shipper for smooth delivery and loading when they need to import a caravan from Australia to New Zealand, since we take care of pick-up and delivery to your chosen location, and manage the export documentation.

All vehicles also have to meet compliance inspections and safety standards in gas, electrical, brake and tow bar, and exhaust emissions.
The good news is Australia is one of the easiest countries to import campervans and caravans into NZ from, because the road standards for widths and towing weights are very similar.
