We today received the forms that we need to complete to get our stuff through quarantine / port.
Not sure if anyone will find this useful but here are a few details of what we received:
Covering letter stating that they require the following:
- Personal Baggage Declaration Form (which they enclosed) - this requires us to enter our personal info including address, passport no. etc It asks :
a) did you pack the baggage?
b) Does the baggage contain:
- food of any kind (raw or processed)
- Animals (dead or alive) :eek
- Plants or plant products
- Equipment used with animals or plants
- Used camping, garden or sporting equipment, bicycles, vehicles, soil, water.
c) In the past 30 days, whilst outside NZ, have you been:
- In contact with any animals?
- To a farm, abattoir or meat packing house?
- In a forest hiking, camping, hunting in rural areas or parkland?
You then have to fill in details of any other persons over the age of 17 who has stuff packed in the container.
Does this consignment contain any of the following items:

The above details were the contents of one form labelled NZCS 218 / NQS QD1.
************************************************** ***
Next, a MAF Enhanced Quarantine Declaration Questionnaire, questions as follows:
a) Do you have a vacuum cleaner, if so, what did you do with the bag (err ours is a Dyson so I guess we just note that down!)
b) Have you any garden tools or equipment (including lawnmowers, catchers); if so, how have they been cleaned? Did you pack any seeds with your garden equipment.
c) What type of sporting goods do you have? For example, golf clubs, golf buggies, rugby/golf/soccer/hiking or other sporting shoes, bicycles.
d) What type of food do you have e.g noodles, honey, rice, meat/meat products, popcorn ( :? ), in your baggage? If so, list them all.
e) Please list any straw, bamboo, cane, rattan and other plant product items you may have.
f) What type of medicines have you packed? Please elaborate as to whether they have any plant or animal products and in which form they are (raw/processed). Are there any herbal medicines?
g) What ornaments do you have? What are they made from?
h) Do you have Christmas decorations? If so, what are they made from?
i) Have your goods been treated before they were shipped to NZ (eg. fumigation, steam cleaning?) If so, do you have certificates?
The above is a MAF Quarantine Process Procedure Form 33.
************************************************** **********
We must also provide them with our passport (or photocopy of all pages of passport and Visa) along with the above forms. (It says the passport will be returned by courier when it is no longer required by customs).
We must also provide info on the insurance value of the goods.
I hope that helps someone :nice1
