Importing Luxury Toilets
Importing luxury toilets, glam toilets and toilets on wheels into New Zealand is an exciting opportunity to meet the growing demand for premium portable amenities. Whether you are catering to high-end events, outdoor weddings, or VIP experiences, these products are a game-changer in the portable toilet industry.
However, the import process can be complex. From navigating the New Zealand Customs Service (NZCS) regulations to ensuring that you meet the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) requirements before the goods are shipped to New Zealand, to having the luxury toilets registered to travel on the road, several key factors must be considered. Importers must also account for shipping costs, logistics, insurance, and receiving the luxury toilet once it arrives in New Zealand – all while attempting to mitigate potential delays.
That is why partnering with an experienced customs brokerage and freight management company before you purchase the luxury toilets is essential. With the proper customs and quarantine knowledge and support, you can streamline the import process, minimise risks, and focus on growing your business.
