Banned & Restricted Items
Since New Zealand is an island country, we are fortunate to be free of many of the most dangerous pests and diseases in the world, and we make every effort to stop them from coming here. However, pests and diseases that can seriously harm New Zealand's environment and agriculture can be transported into the country in your luggage. Therefore, Pre-arrival visa services in New Zealand advices you to avoid bringing any food, animals, animal products, plants, or plant components. Even if not all of these are forbidden, it's simpler if you don't bring them.
