New Zeland
Internationally, New Zealand is recognized as one of the world’s most open and advanced market economies, offering a highly favorable business environment. Its commitment to international trade, supported by 13 free trade agreements and foreign investments, is vital to the country’s long-term prosperity. Trade accounts for approximately 60% of New Zealand’s total economic activity.
Rich in forests, arable land, and pastures, New Zealand’s economy is largely based on the export of dairy products, fresh fruits and vegetables, meat, timber, and wine.
Did you know? The entry of the Asian stink bug is strictly prohibited.
Following the rapid spread of the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB), the Australian Department of Agriculture, in collaboration with New Zealand’s Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI), implements seasonal measures annually from September 1st to April 30th to combat the proliferation of this invasive pest. These measures aim to protect local agriculture and preserve biodiversity, as the BMSB is known to cause significant damage to crops.
Regulations for shipments headed to Australia and New Zealand require mandatory container fumigation. This treatment is essential to ensure that goods in transit do not become carriers of the pest, helping to prevent its further spread.
At Asian Logistics Agencies, we handle container fumigation in addition to providing international shipping services to New Zealand.
