Not only it's cheaper for high volume exports, but it also enhances safety, as the FCL container remains sealed from origin (UK) to destination (New Zealand).<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example:<\/strong> Consider a business exporting British-made furniture to New Zealand. The bulky items easily fill up a 20'ft container. By opting for FCL shipping, the business ensures the cargo's safety during transit and reduces shipping costs.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Cost Implications:<\/strong> The more space your cargo occupies in a container, the less you pay per cubic meter. Therefore, for larger volumes, an FCL shipping quote can turn out to be more cost-effective compared to LCL. Moreover, FCL avoids the extra handling fees associated with LCL, as your container doesn't need to be consolidated with others.<\/p>\r\n            \r\n        <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-57ceaede\" data-id=\"57ceaede\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-66eeb2d0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"66eeb2d0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"517\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/LCL-image.svg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2681\" alt=\"LCL\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fb0e1d1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget\" data-id=\"fb0e1d1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        <div class=\"title-area\">\r\n                        <h4 class=\"sec-title style2\">Less container load (LCL)<\/h4>                                        <p class=\"sec-text\"><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Definition:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/sea-freight-services\/#LCL_Less_Than_Container_Load_%E2%80%93_Container_groupage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LCL<\/a>, or Less-than-Container-Load, is a shipping method where multiple shipments by several shippers share the same container. This is ideal for smaller consignments that don't require a full container.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">When to Use:<\/strong> LCL is an optimal choice when your cargo is less than <span style=\"color: #920d12\"><strong>13-15 cubic meters (CBM).<\/strong><\/span> It offers flexibility and cost-effectiveness for low-volume shipments. That is, instead of waiting to fill a whole container, you can send your smaller cargo more frequently, speeding up the delivery process.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example:<\/strong> For example, if a UK-based online retailers specializing in boutique cheeses wants to test the market in New Zealand, they don't need a full container. Instead, they opt for LCL shipment, making the process leaner and faster.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Cost Implications:<\/strong> While the per-CBM rate for LCL freight could be higher than that of a Full Container Load, overall costs are often lower for small volume shipments. Furthermore, since you avoid the storage costs involved with waiting to fill an entire container before shipping, the total cost becomes even more competitive and manageable for your business. Be mindful, though, as LCL often involves more handling, which can require additional management and could potentially increase the risk of damage.<\/p>\r\n            \r\n        <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-3b4ed788 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3b4ed788\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-62d01f24\" data-id=\"62d01f24\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-789c7bea elementor-widget elementor-widget-docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget\" data-id=\"789c7bea\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        <div class=\"title-area\">\r\n                        <p class=\"sec-title style2\">Hassle-free shipping<\/p>                                        <p class=\"sec-text\">Struggling with the complex world of cargo shipping?

It&#8217;s the weight you&#8217;d get if you put your packaged item on a scale \u2013 simple and straightforward.<\/p><br><p>On the other hand,<strong> volumetric weight<\/strong>, sometimes known as dimensional weight, takes into account the space the package occupies on the aircraft, rather than just its actual weight. It&#8217;s an estimation of the density of a package, which is especially important for light, bulky packages.<\/p><br><p>Calculating these variables goes as follows:<\/p><br><p>For gross weight in air freight, the items are weighed in their ready-to-ship packaging. The total weight is the sum of the individual weights and is simply expressed in kilograms (kg).<\/p><br><p>Volumetric weight is a bit more complex. It&#8217;s calculated by multiplying the package&#8217;s length, width, and height (in centimeters), and then <strong>dividing the result by 5000<\/strong>. In air express services,<strong> the figure used is 5000 due to IATA regulations.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>For instance, a shipment with dimensions of 50cm x 30cm x 20cm and a gross weight of 10 kg would have a volumetric weight of (503020)\/5000 = 6kg. This is roughly 13.2 lbs, while the gross weight of 10 kg is about 22 lbs.<\/p><br><p>Now, why is this all important? Well, airlines charge for freight based on either gross weight or volumetric weight \u2013 whichever is higher. This is known as chargeable weight.

At the core, estimating these critical fees hinge on several factors, you need to be keenly aware of: the origin country of the goods, the Harmonised System (HS) Code, the Customs Value, the Applicable Tariff Rate, and any other taxes and fees that could apply to your products. It all begins with identifying the country where your products were initially manufactured or produced\u2014a vital pin on your importing compass directing you towards an accurate duty and tax calculation approach. By having this as your first step, you essentially map out your journey in the vast duty and tax landscape, making its navigation hassle-free.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5ec37a52 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"5ec37a52\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0e81c436 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0e81c436\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 1 &#8211; Identify the Country of Origin<\/h3><br><p>Knowing your <strong>goods&#8217; origin<\/strong> is crucial, not just mandatory. First, it unmasks any hidden costs. You might confront unsuspected customs duties if your products are British or if parts of them are. Second, it opens the door to preferential rates. The UK and New Zealand have trade agreements which can provide lower customs duties, but only for goods truly &#8216;made in UK&#8217;.<\/p><br><p>Next, you&#8217;ll avoid import restrictions. Certain categories of goods from particular places face restrictions or outright bans in New Zealand. Ensure your cargo doesn&#8217;t fall into this metier. Fourth, you&#8217;ll sidestep unnecessary delay at ports. A clear origin label on your goods expedites customs checks. And fifth, it&#8217;s a formality. To determine your Harmonized System (HS) code, which classifies your product for customs, you need your item&#8217;s origin.<\/p><br><p>So, dig in, learn your product&#8217;s roots and reap the rewards. Remember, smooth sailing across trade lanes means doing your homework and wearing multiple hats &#8211; a detective uncovering your product&#8217;s backstory, a negotiator understanding trade agreements, and a strategist weaving through import restrictions.

It might be tempting to think of customs value as simply the price of your products, but alas, it&#8217;s more than that. It&#8217;s actually based on the <strong>CIF value\u2014that&#8217;s the cost of the goods (in USD), plus the cost of international shipping, and yes, the insurance cost too<\/strong>. For instance,<strong> if you bought goods worth $1,000, paid $200 for shipping, and $50 for insurance, your customs value isn&#8217;t $1,000\u2014it&#8217;s $1,250<\/strong>. Armed with this knowledge, you can better anticipate your total import costs, ensuring no unpleasant surprises in your shipping journey. Remember, the devil is in the details, and in shipping, these details could mean the difference between a smooth delivery and unexpected costs.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bd42efdc e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"bd42efdc\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5bce5a74 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5bce5a74\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 4 &#8211; Figure out the applicable Import Tariff<\/h3><br><p>In the labyrinth of international shipping, an import tariff is a tax imposed by the destination country on goods imported from abroad. In the case of New Zealand, duties are generally imposed on a CIF basis (i.e., Cost, Insurance, and Freight) using various types of tariffs, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meti.go.jp\/english\/report\/data\/2015WTO\/02_01.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MFN (Most Favoured Nation)<\/a> tariff and Preferential Tariffs.<\/p><br><p>Now, let&#8217;s say you&#8217;re importing bicycles from the UK with the HS code 8712.00. The tool to identify their tariff is the UK&#8217;s Trade Tariff: https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/trade-tariff. This step-by-step guide will help:<\/p><br><p>1. Navigate to the Trade Tariff and enter the HS code and country of origin, in this case, the UK.<br \/><br>2. Confirm the duties and taxes applied to bicycles.<\/p><br><p>Let&#8217;s consider that the tariff rate provided is 5%.<strong> If your CIF costs for importing the bicycles total $10,000 USD, the import duties to be paid would be 5% of $10,000, so $500.<\/strong> It&#8217;s crucial to accurately calculate these costs to avoid any surprises during the customs clearance process.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c9fdeab8 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"c9fdeab8\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56dbe57b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"56dbe57b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<p><h3>Step 5 &#8211; Consider other Import Duties and Taxes<\/h3><br><\/p><p><br>While it can feel like a victory once your shipment clears customs in New Zealand, don&#8217;t forget about additional import duties and taxes you might owe. Beyond the standard tariff rate, there may be other costs associated with the product and the country of origin. Predominantly, you could be looking at Excise Duty, Anti-Dumping Taxes, and VAT.<\/p><br><p>Let\u2019s assume, for example, you&#8217;re importing wine (affected by Excise Duty) from the UK. You&#8217;ve already paid the standard tariff, but now you may also face an Excise Duty of $$14 per liter &#8211; keep in mind this rate varies greatly, this is just an illustrative number.<\/p><br><p>Anti-Dumping Taxes may apply if your goods from the UK are cheaper than the goods of the same kind in New Zealand, aiming to prevent &#8216;dumping&#8217;. These taxes can be as high as 5% of the value of the goods &#8211; another hypothetical figure.<\/p><br><p>Lastly, there&#8217;s the VAT. In New Zealand, VAT (GST) is a standard 15% rate applied on the Customs Value of the goods plus all duties, levies and other taxes (like Excise Duty).<\/p><br><p>Understanding how these additional charges apply to your specific shipment can help avoid costly surprises upon delivery and ensure a smooth importing process.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3bf1d44f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"3bf1d44f\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-583a1b36 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"583a1b36\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 6 &#8211; Calculate the Customs Duties<\/h3><br><p>Calculating customs duties when importing goods into New Zealand from the UK involves several parameters:<\/p><br><p><strong>Example 1: Let&#8217;s consider a shipment of designer clothes valued at $10,000. The customs duty rate for clothes is 10%. So, the customs duty payable is $10,000 10% = $1,000. No VAT or other taxes apply in this case.<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>Example 2: Now, suppose you&#8217;re importing machinery valued at $20,000, and both customs duties (5%) and VAT (15%) apply. The customs duty would be $20,000 5% = $1,000. VAT applies on the sum of the customs value and customs duty, calculated as ($20,000 + $1,000) 15% = $3,150.<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>Example 3: Lastly, if you&#8217;re importing steel valued at $30,000, customs duties (3%), VAT (15%), anti-dumping taxes (4.5%), and excise duties (10%) apply. Customs duty is $900; VAT is ($30,000+$900)15%=$4,635; anti-dumping taxes are $30,0004.5% =$1,350, and excise duty is $30,00010% = $3,000.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>Figuring it all out can be complex, but don&#8217;t fret!

Think of it as a legal receipt that identifies your goods, proves the carrier has received them, and designates the point at which ownership is transferred. Nowadays, electronic or Telex release is a game changer, eliminating paper documents and accelerating your shipment&#8217;s journey. In air cargo, it&#8217;s cousin, the Air Waybill (AWB), governs transportation. Want to make your shipping experience smoother?

Your guiding light through it all? The Packing List, a true unsung hero. As a shipper, you&#8217;re charged with creating a <strong>Packing List<\/strong> that details the contents, weight, and volume of your freight. Picture trying to process a birthday gift without a tag &#8211; confusing, right? It&#8217;s the same with freight. Customs officials in both countries use the Packing List to verify your cargo, whether it&#8217;s traveling by sea or air. Precision is key here. Any discrepancies can send your goods into bureaucratic limbo or lead to hefty penalties. So, before you send that container of specialist machinery or case of Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc, triple-check your Packing List. It&#8217;s your safeguard for a smooth customs clearance.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-667b6637 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"667b6637\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c1e8797b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c1e8797b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h4>Commercial Invoice<\/h4><br><p>Keeping your <strong>Commercial Invoice<\/strong> in perfect order is vital for smooth shipping from the UK to New Zealand.

Any misunderstandings here could mean delayed goods &#8211; a costly misstep. To avoid this, ensure your invoice aligns accurately with your Bill of Lading or Air Waybill. That way, discrepancies won&#8217;t raise eyebrows at customs. An actionable step? Always double-check your paperwork. Accurate documents mean your shipments smoothly transition from the breezy British Isles to the gorgeous shores of New Zealand.

This document is evidence that your goods meet specific standards, predominantly the CE standard within EU. But remember, the UK isn&#8217;t in the EU anymore, and the UKCA marking holds sway now. This isn&#8217;t a blanket no-hassle guarantee but rather proof that your goods meet essential safety and environmental standards. Compare it to the Approach FC Standards in the U.S &#8211; similar idea, different territory. For those of you dealing in products like toys, electronics, or machinery, having CoCs can smooth your goods&#8217; journey, reducing delays at customs. So, take the time to understand these markings and align your products accordingly. This can make your shipping process between UK and New Zealand more efficient and favorable.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-78aa841a e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"78aa841a\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7b17ca2e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7b17ca2e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h4>Your EORI number (Economic Operator Registration Identification)<\/h4><br><p>Think of an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fedex.com\/en-fr\/shipping-channel\/customs-clearance\/what-is-eori-number.html#:~:text=&#039;EORI%20number&#039;%20is%20short%20for,authorities%20throughout%20the%20European%20Union.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EORI number<\/a> as the passport for your imported or exported goods.

The volume and value of goods traded reflect this synergy, with the UK being New Zealand&#8217;s fifth-largest<strong> bilateral trading partner amounting to \u00a33.3bn in 2023<\/strong>. Investments too, are substantial, <strong>with British firms investing \u00a313bn in New Zealand<\/strong>. This partnership took a significant leap forward with the UK-NZ Free Trade Agreement announcement in 2021, set to bolster sectors such as digital trade, sustainability, and services.
