Inspection Of Used Vehicles All used vehicles entering New Zealand must be inspected externally and internally, and the vehicles found to be free of the following: • animals, insects (including egg masses of gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar) and any other species of Lymantriidae) or other invertebrates of any life stage, or organic material of animal origin (including blood, bones, fibre, meat, secretions, excretions, etc); • plants or plant products (including fruit, seeds, leaves, twigs, bark, sawdust or other organic material); and • soil or water. Inspection of used vehicles for export to New Zealand may be undertaken prior to shipping from the final port of export, i.e., pre-shipment. Alternatively, the inspection of used vehicles may be undertaken on arrival in New Zealand.
Inspection On Arrival in New Zealand All used vehicles that have not been subject to pre-shipment inspection will be inspected to the degree necessary for an inspector to satisfy him/herself that the used vehicles are free of contamination. Unless used vehicles are adequately secured to prevent the movement of any regulated pests from the used vehicles, all external inspections must be conducted (i) within 12 hours of any used vehicle consignment’s discharge at the port of entry in New Zealand; or (ii) within 12 hours of any used vehicle being devanned from a container. Inspections shall be carried out only where lighting is adequate for the purposes of the inspection. All light (GVM not exceeding 3500 kg) used vehicles subject to inspection on arrival in New Zealand shall be driven over a ramp or an inspection pit constructed in a manner that allows a comprehensive external inspection of the under surface. Alternative inspection arrangements so as to ensure a comprehensive external inspection of the under surface shall be applied to used vehicles with a GVM exceeding 3500 kg. Every compartment and surface that is normally accessible without recourse to tools is to be inspected. Hubcaps that can be removed without removing the wheel will be removed and inspected.
Shipment/Inspection of Used Vehicles Pre-shipment inspected vehicles must be separated from non-pre-shipment inspected vehicles At all times by a minimum distance of 3 metres, or equivalent. During shipment, pre-shipment inspected used vehicles and non-pre-shipment inspected used vehicles may be separated (i) by being loaded on separate decks or (ii) if on the same deck, by a minimum distance of 3 metres, or equivalent.
Documentation/Certification for Importing Used Vehicles: Each used vehicle arriving in New Zealand must be accompanied by documentation stating its: • identification (i.e., chassis number) • make and model; • origin; • shipment details; • consignor; and • consignee and consignee’s address. In addition, used vehicles pre-shipment inspected through arrangements put in place by the exporting country’s national plant protection organisation must be accompanied by a certificate, issued by arrangement with the national plant protection organisation of the country of export, with the following additional declaration: “The used vehicles in this consignment and identified on this certificate have been inspected in accordance with appropriate official procedures on [dd mm year] and found to be free of egg masses of gypsy moth and other species of lymantriid, and to conform with the current phytosanitary requirements of the New Zealand Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.”
