Plenty of people have bought stuff over like that, its sealed, in its original packaging and factory processed then its fine! Bisto is a favourite to stow away in the container, along with UK cadbury, robinsons special R & walkers crisps!

Just make sure you know where it is (so it can be found for MAF easily, and declare it. Oh and you dont bring very large amounts or you could get done for importing for re-sale! ;)

BUT you can get irn bru and UK choc etc here in various places, so its not as if you will never have it again... you just have to pay a premium for it.

Should have added, any doubt check out NZ maf http://www.maf.govt.nz/mafnet/index.htm & customs websites. http://www.customs.govt.nz/default.htm

Don't suppose there would be problems with pressurised bottles in a container... unless the heat of the tropics gets to it...
