JET SKI to New Zealand

Importing a Jet Ski to NZ

Explore Our Coastline by Jet Ski
Kiwis and adrenalin go hand in hand, which is why Cargo Co-ordinators makes it easy to import jet skis into NZ from the USA. Whether you’re looking for one to use recreationally or multiples to start up a business, we offer personalised shipping to suit you and your jet ski right down to a tee.

Helpful Hint:

If you’re keen to buy a jet ski from the US, choose a seller that’s based inland, not on the coast. Jet skis that have only ever been used on fresh water lakes won’t be at risk of salt water-induced rust. Talk to us about different load and pickup options as we can ship without trailers.

    All imported caravans must meet NZ compliance standards, including:

    Can You Load Extra Items into the Caravan?

    Yes — if your caravan is shipped in a container, additional items and personal effects can be included (subject to declaration). However, Roll-On Roll-Off (RORO) services strictly prohibit supplementary cargo, and larger caravans using RORO must meet additional security criteria. Talk to us before buying to determine the best shipping method.

    Cleaning & Border Biosecurity

    Your caravan must be free of soil, plant matter, and debris prior to shipping. This avoids delays and extra costs from MPI-mandated re-cleaning in New Zealand. Our UK depots ensure compliance and can help prepare your vehicle to meet these standards.

    Marine Cargo Insurance

    To protect your investment, all caravans shipped through Cargo Co-ordinators must be covered by comprehensive marine insurance. We offer competitive coverage and manage it as part of your logistics plan — giving you peace of mind in transit.

    Local Customs & Clearance

    Before your caravan is released, we process all required paperwork through: NZ Customs – Including GST and duty assessments (if applicable) MPI – For quarantine, inspection, and structural compliance If you’re a returning NZ resident, you may qualify for GST exemptions on personal effects — ask us how.

    Depot & Delivery

    Caravans shipped in containers are unpacked at our MPI-compliant specialist depots, while RORO units are processed at port. Once all border checks and paperwork are complete (typically 3–4 working days), we arrange release and delivery to your chosen location.

    What Our Customers Say

    Real Experiences from Real Customers

    I used Cargo Co-ordinators to coordinate and ship my 1981 DeLorean from the US to New Zealand. Not only were they a lower cost than others I received quotes from, but they offered door-to-door pickup and delivery at a lower cost than others dock-to-dock services. Even with the lower cost, they took fantastic care of my car through the whole journey, and their state-side agents were fantastic as well. I was kept appraised of the status of the car throughout the entire process and could not be happier. If you need to have a car shipped, I would highly recommend the entire Cargo Co-ordinators team.
