Cheers

you realise that you cant register any car not meeting the tuff rules like euro4 emission and left hand steering with special exemptions .hope you study all rulesor you be bringing in a car that is for parts or only offroad use.

I used Mainfreight which is part of Kiwishipping great team to work with ( when I imported a Harley )
now im looking at importing a 2008 ford mustang for personal use.

I've done this a couple of times and offer this advice . familiarize yourself with how different type vehicles (if you are sharing a container which is quite normal) effect the freight cost. The freight cost bottom line is affected by how many other cars are sharing the container. The more cars . the cheaper it should be. This depends on what type of car/truck you are bring over as well as the types sharing the container and how it is all packed/loaded etc. Its not unheard of for shipping company specialists over there to have mates over here that they have sold a car to and have said car waiting in their sheds for an opportunity to squeeze it in a shipment without passing the savings gained from more cars in the same space onto the other punters in the container. Just saying .
