Can anyone enlighten me as to the exact fees at the NZ end and whether a Shipping agent is needed for clearance, I will not leave until I have the Bill of Lading in my hand.
Thanks for the advice, I won't use the carnet to enter NZ but do the other scheme. I think the carnet will expire then the bike is on the water-

i was talking to simon and lisa thomas (10 years on the road) at overland expo last week about a similar situation so i'll relay what they told me as it maybe useful to you...
they were in OZ and shipped to NZ, they said because the bike entered OZ on a Carnet it had to leave on the Carnet, this meant that it had to enter NZ on a carnet as thats what is on the bill of lading from the australian shipper, then they had to cut short their time in NZ because the Carnet was running out and would have to be renewed or get out before it expired, as they were heading the states where no carnet is required they opted to leave early
you may want to look at that as they told me otherwise there is a possibility of the bike bike getting impounded until paperwork was resolved
based of this information i am heading inbound to NZ first (no carnet) and then to OZ as this works out as a cheaper option for me...but that doesn't help you right now
