Client Information: Mr. Liu;
Shipping Route: Zhengzhou to Christchurch;
Case Summary: Mr. Liu from Zhengzhou entrusted Seapoe Relo to ship his furniture and luggage to Christchurch.

Mr. Liu from Zhengzhou is relocating to New Zealand and will also ship his furniture and belongings from China by sea. This time, Mr. Liu is moving the furniture and items from an entire three-bedroom, two-living-room home, so he decided to book a full 20-foot container. With FCL shipping, the container holds only his own belongings, making it more reassuring than LCL, and there is no need to wait for cargo consolidation—it is flexible and fast.

After the Seapoe Relo staff packed all the furniture and luggage on the agreed date, they first transported Mr. Liu's furniture and items to the Seapoe Relo warehouse in Beijing, where wooden crates and frames were made to reinforce and protect some fragile furniture items, and only then were they delivered to the port for container loading and shipment.

With Seapoe Relo's assistance, Mr. Liu's furniture and items cleared customs duty-free smoothly and arrived in Christchurch. Mr. Liu's family received the furniture and items that had traveled across the ocean from Zhengzhou at the expected time.

The conditions required for duty-free customs clearance for New Zealand immigrants are as follows:
1. Chinese passport + new immigrant to New Zealand within five years
2. Chinese passport + New Zealand work visa of more than two years
3. New Zealand citizen holding a Chinese long-term visa of more than 21 months, having lived in China for more than 21 months before returning to New Zealand
4. The items must be used second-hand goods, and at the time of customs clearance, the person clearing customs should be within New Zealand.

In addition, New Zealand has very strict requirements for inbound and outbound items. Besides noting that you may not carry any untreated solid wood or raw timber products, any items made of sensitive plant materials, or any animal or plant products, individuals entering New Zealand are also not allowed to bring honey, honey products, meat products, seasonings, seeds, Chinese herbal medicines, and similar items. It is recommended to pay extra attention when packing your luggage.
