    Guide to Importing car to New Zealand

    February 11, 2011

    Step 1: Identifying the requirements for your vehicle

    The first step you need to take when importing a vehicle is to identify which New Zealand vehicle class it comes under. The vehicle class determines which technical standards apply to your vehicle and also whether you, or the vehicle, must meet any special terms or conditions. Find out which class applies

    Vehicle classes range from bicycles through to heavy trucks and trailers. Once you’ve identified the class you can then determine the requirements it must meet.

     

    Step 2: Proving your vehicle meets the requirements

    Once you’ve identified the specific requirements your vehicle needs to meet, you need to get the documentation to prove it. The evidence varies depending on the vehicle’s class and age.  As well as providing proof that you’re the legal owner of your vehicle you’ll need evidence of compliance for whichever of these applies:

    • Exhaust emissions standards (a stringent condition across vehicle classes and age)
    • Frontal impact standards
    • Fuel consumption information
    • Heavy vehicle brake standards
    • Other standards that vary depending on the date of manufacture.

    Step 3: Preparing to import

    Once you’re satisfied your vehicle meets the applicable New Zealand standards, you can arrange transport with a shipping agent to get it to New Zealand. You should carry out several additional checks at this step.

    • If your vehicle is new and you’re using a Statement of Compliance as evidence you may also need test certificate information that shows it was manufactured to meet the required standards. Entry certifiers can advise whether you need this.
    • If your vehicle is currently registered in its country of origin, you need to deregister the vehicle with that country’s registration authority and keep all the documents.

    Also check to see if there are any unaddressed safety recalls or the possibility that the vehicle has suffered water damage.

    How to Find the Best Car baby Seat to Protect Your Child

    February 2, 2011

    Choosing a good car seat for your child’s protection is a prime consideration for any new parent. To give your child the best chance of escaping injury in the event of a collision, you’ll need to a car seat suited to your child’s age and weight.

    To choose a proper car seat, you’ll need to understand that there are three main types of car seats for children. These are: infant car seats, infant / toddler (convertible) car seats, and booster seats.

    Infant Car Seats

    If you have a newborn baby, or your child is under a year old, he needs to ride in a rear-facing car seat. You’ll need to decide on buy a rear-facing infant car seat, or you can buy an infant / toddler car seat (also called a convertible car seat). The difference between the two is that the infant car seat is designed for babies around 20 pounds and under, while the convertible car seat be used facing the rear until your child is a year old and at least 20 pounds, before turning it to face forward. If you purchase an infant car seat, rest assured that the new models have a five-point harness to keep your baby strapped in securely. The disadvantage, of course, is that you’ll need to buy a convertible car seat later when your child grows older.

    Infant / toddler (convertible)

    Car Seats These car seats are larger than infant-only car seats and more expensive. However, they can be used for your child from the newborn stage (when he is less than a year old and under 20 pounds) right up to the toddler stage (when he is at least a year old and at least 20 pounds). It depends on your choice. Some parents choose to use convertible car seats as their primary car seat from day one. Others only switch to an infant/toddler convertible seat when their baby outgrows the infant car seat.

    Booster Car Seats

    Booster car seats are meant for children age 3 and older who weigh at least 40 pounds. What’s the function of these seats? What they do is to boost your child into a position that makes it safe to use the car’s existing seat belt system. Booster seats will cost of (they’re pretty expensive) but they’ll give your grown toddler a sense of ‘adulthood’ since most of the models are ergonomic, plush and cool.
