I bought my DRZ in on temporary import scheme. I sorted the freight clearance myself at the New Zealand end.
I paid for the a freight handing company to get the crate off the LCL container and into a freight yard. Took the bill of lading to customs on Anzac St, Auckland, paid $40.00 in GST, booked the bio-security inspection. It turned out that MAFF who do the inspection didn't inspect it thoroughly at all (ripped open the corner of the crate, but didn't remove the plastic wrapping or ratchet straps. Thank fuck as i'd packed it in the monsoon rains of India. ). Once it had passed bio-security inspection, rang their hotline, paid $80 for the privilege.
Got a man and van to get bike out of haulage yard, took bike home, filled with oil, connected battery. Rode to VTNZ, filled out form, paid the acc part of the rego (I think about $100), got 12 month rego sticker, got the bike WOF'd, and was good to go.
