Whether you're exporting commodities, manufactured goods, food products, or high-value items, we know the documentation requirements and the regulated pathways — and we get your cargo away correctly the first time.

MPI
Export Health Cert
Animal products, food exports — we manage the MPI export health certificate process, including coordination with competent authorities.
FTA Duty Optimisation
New Zealand has Free Trade Agreements with Australia, China, ASEAN, South Korea, the UK, and more. We ensure your exports use the correct origin documentation to access preferential duty rates at destination.
Regulated Product Exports
Food, dairy, meat, timber, and biological products all have regulated export requirements. We know what MPI requires, what the destination country requires, and how to get both done without delaying your shipment.
