Asking for entry into Auckland

The immigration inspection in Auckland is very strict. China passengers should pay attention to the following matters:

1. Entry card is required, and all columns must be filled in clearly and completely. Auckland Airport is the only airport in New Zealand with bilingual passenger-oriented signs. There are always staff who can serve passengers in Mandarin and Cantonese. From the check-in counter to the inspectors, it is common for white and China staff to work at the same time. China people will feel at home here.

2. Truthfully declare the number of items that need to be declared, such as cash and medicines, biological products, food, etc. New Zealand is a drug control country. It is a felony for anyone to bring drugs into the country, regardless of the quantity. There are poison-sniffing police dogs at the airport and all ports of entry to check the arriving passengers and their luggage. If you have to bring drugs into the country because of your physical condition, remember to bring only the most basic amount, stop when you have enough, and bring a doctor's prescription. In addition to noting on the declaration form, you should also be prepared to answer questions from customs officials about drugs and other related issues. Don't bring any medicine that you bought without a prescription.

3. Because New Zealand is an island country, the natural environment is isolated from the outside world, which leads to the low resistance of local animal and plant species to the outside world. To this end, the country's entry inspection is very strict to ensure the safety of its biological species. Its unique natural scenery is favored by tourists all over the world, and it is also subject to such strict inspection and protection. In order to prevent contraband from being brought in, all the luggage of immigrants, including thick clothes such as coats and down jackets, must be scanned by X-ray machines. Any plant or animal products or products, including canned fresh fruits and vegetables, dried or cooked food, various forms of meat (including canned food and bacon sausages, etc.). ), such as Chinese herbal medicines, dried vegetables, preserved fruits, bamboo and wood products, marine animal products, specimens of birds, animals and insects, and seeds, leaves and roots of plants, are not allowed to enter the country. What can't be brought in has been marked on the disembarkation card. If so, either give up before customs clearance, or take the initiative to declare, and see how the customs handles it. Don't hide it, or you will be fined S $2,000 (equivalent to nearly RMB 10,000) and even sentenced to imprisonment.

Although some things are for personal use, there are restrictions on bringing them in, such as alcohol and tobacco. Knowing the boundaries of everything is the premise of avoiding high fines or heavy taxes.

4. New Zealanders advocate sports and welcome tourists to share the local natural scenery and sports environment, such as alpine skiing (open all year round), seawater swimming and surfing, kayaking, rock climbing, skydiving, long-distance running, four-wheel drive cross-country and cycling cross-country. Visitors can rent any equipment locally, but their own equipment will be strictly inspected, especially the equipment that will be brought into the soil (bacteria, viruses, pollen and harmful plant seeds, etc.). ), such as car tires, gaps in running soles. If it is found that it is not cleaned, it will also be punished.

5. Airport Customs will conduct spot checks on passengers. In the case of spot checks, it is very important to adopt a cooperative attitude. If you have communication difficulties, you can seek help from an interpreter immediately. Customs officers familiar with various languages assist in the inspection.
