When you are looking to move boxes and furniture items into New Zealand they will require some attention prior to shipping. Our international wrapping material has been specially designed in a three-layer construction to provide your personal effects with the ultimate protection whilst in transit.
The first layer is ‘Cellfoam’ which is a non-abrasive material made up of tiny air cells that allows the furniture items to breathe. The second layer is bubblewrap which provides cushioning of the items against denting, rubbing, and other transit-related risks. The third layer is a polywoven material which is extremely durable and offers tear and rubbing resistance like no other product on the market.
Our international wrapping material offers the ultimate protection for your furniture when moving overseas and do not leaving any marks, indentations or scratches like other products sometimes used with the moving industry and up to 4 times
stronger than some of the lower cost wrapping available.

Vehicle Transport
Allied are not just a furniture moving company! We can also assist with shipping your car to New Zealand and provide you with information pertaining to the government regulations and laws that you need to be aware of so you can be well informed about the pros and cons of bring your vehicle with you.
When importing a vehicle into New Zealand they may be subject to tax and duty. Foreign passport holders (with qualifying Visa) and returning NZ residents (who have lived outside NZ for more than 21 months) are allowed entry duty-free but may be subject to GST, provided the vehicle has been owned and used for one year prior to shipment and is not sold or disposed of for two years after importation.
Vehicles must comply with NZ Transport Authority standard regulations – this should be checked in detail prior to shipment. All vehicles have a basic structural inspection and are inspected by MPI for biosecurity risks at the ‘border’ (our approved stores) and should be clean inside and out.
It is important to speak with one of our move consultants about the process as rules and regulations are subject to change and will vary at times depending on the individual circumstance.
