Biosecurity import permit
Plants, animals and their products need a Biosecurity Import Permit from National Biosecurity Services, issued for each consignment before it ships.

Equipment and construction materials that are not trading stock may qualify to defer VAT on import, with SRC approval before arrival.

A few helpful answers.
About permits
When should I apply for a permit?
Before your supplier ships. A Biosecurity Import Permit is issued for each consignment and must reach your supplier before the goods leave.
What if goods arrive without a permit?
Customs or Biosecurity can hold, return or seize the cargo, and fines may apply. Checking the invoice before you order avoids this.
Can you prepare the forms for us?
Yes. We prepare permit applications from your invoices, including ozone permits, VAT deferred payment requests and concession forms, ready to sign.
How do I get started?
Email us your supplier's pro forma invoice or share it in the client portal. We will tell you which permits apply and what we need.
