Useful Information For Sending Parcels From Hong Kong To New Zealand

As a business center, New Zealand is focused on making business transactions as easy as possible. Because of this, most small, letter-size shipments whose value is not over $400NZD are completely duty-free and easily pass through the border of New Zealand. This makes it easy to ship paperwork, proposals, and other business mail from HK to NZ. Packages, however, need full customs forms and proper declarations, but FreightAmigo will digitize this as part of the booking process.
