Can this car get in?
- ⛔ Right-hand drive only: China-market LHD cars cannot be imported — needs the RHD version
- Who can import: Individuals and companies may import; commercial importers must register with NZTA and open a Clean Car Standard account
- The car must be certified to a standard New Zealand recognises (ADR / ECE etc.); Chinese GB standards alone do not pass entry certification
- Biosecurity inspection on arrival: the car must be clean inside and out
Rules and sources
- Passenger-car import duty 0% (customs duty table: 'Car' 0%); GST 15% on customs value + duty + freight and insurance ↗ official 2026-10-26
- Clean Car Standard: the 2026 passenger-car target is 108 g/km; new cars are charged NZ$15 to the importer per gram above it (cut from $67.50 on 2026-01-01); cars below target earn the importer credits; a NZ$22.46 administration fee applies at first registration ↗ official 2026-09-20
- Right-hand-drive market — left-hand drive needs a special permit; every imported car must pass entry certification (safety, emissions, frontal impact) by an NZTA-approved organisation and comply with a standards regime New Zealand recognises (Australian ADR / UN-ECE / Japan / USA); Chinese GB standards are not among them ↗ official 2026-09-20
- On arrival the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) carries out a biosecurity inspection; the car must be clean inside and out ↗ official 2026-09-20
Right-hand-drive market: Chinese domestic left-hand-drive cars cannot normally be registered. Duty 0% and GST 15%, so the tax burden is light; the hurdle is compliance — the car must carry a standard New Zealand recognises (Australian ADR, UN-ECE, etc.); a car certified only to Chinese GB standards fails entry certification, so in practice only right-hand-drive export versions can enter. The Clean Car Standard charges NZ$15 per gram above 108 g/km on new cars; BEVs and PHEVs pay nothing.
