Exporting to New Zealand

The UK has signed a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with New Zealand which will make exporting to New Zealand cheaper, faster and more secure for UK businesses.

How to utilise the FTA

The UK-New Zealand FTA contains many new improvements and opportunities for UK businesses seeking to export to New Zealand.

From more flexible rules of origin and customs clearance, to specialised support for small traders.

• Find practical advice on how to utilise the agreement including guidance on proving rules of origin, accessing simpler customs, and benefiting from zero tariffs.
• Download detailed information for your sector  with market opportunities and the steps you need to take to utilise the agreement.

Benefits of the UK-New Zealand FTA include:

• more flexible rules of origin when exporting goods that are better suited to modern supply chains
• equal treatment and improved business environment for UK businesses operating in New Zealand
• easier travel rules for UK businesspeople wishing to deliver services in New Zealand

Some of the provisions in the new FTA will apply automatically, whilst others may require you to take action first before you can benefit. The action(s) you will need to take also depends on the type of goods or services you are selling.
