How It Works
Three simple steps – we handle the paperwork.

We confirm the right form, tell you exactly which documents we need and check everything before it goes to Customs.
We submit & follow up
We lodge your application with NZ Customs the same day we receive your details and documents, then follow up until your code is issued.
Good to know: you can also apply directly to NZ Customs yourself at no charge. Our fee covers preparing, checking and submitting your application and following up on your behalf. Food importers (NZCS 224F) also pay an MPI registration fee, which is separate from our fee.

Common Questions
Do I need a client code or a Customs Number?
Businesses and sole traders importing or exporting commercial goods worth NZ$1,000 or more need a client code (NZCS 224). Private individuals bringing in personal items worth over NZ$1,000 need a Customs Number (NZCS 224A). Not sure? Tell us what you are importing and we will confirm.
My parcel is held by Customs – can you help?
Yes. If your goods are held because you need a Customs Number or client code, contact us straight away and mention when the goods arrived. We will prepare your application and can also help with the clearance itself.
How long does it take?
We submit your application to NZ Customs the same day we receive your complete details and documents. After that, the processing time depends on NZ Customs and can vary. If there is a delay on their side, we follow up for you.
What documents will I need?
Individuals usually need photo ID such as a passport or driver licence. Businesses need business details and supporting documents for the person applying. We will tell you exactly what is required for your situation.
I may already have a client code – what should I do?
Do not apply for a second code. Check your inbox and spam folder for an email from Customs’ Trade Single Window system. If you cannot find it, contact us and we will help you check.
