Have proof you own it. Have proof you've owned it for more than a year (or you'll get hit with tax. Clean it or MAF will av you.

Clean the crap out of it, and when you're finished....clean it again.

Use a fine toothed comb, coz that's what MAF will use.

And then clean again... and now you are about half there with the cleaning

Yep, just spoken to my sister who works at MAF and she says Clean it.

She says:
"Yep it's fine to bring, but when he fills out the Customs and MAF declarations for everything he needs to declare it. Motorcross bikes aren't LTNZ registered I think so it's even simpler. Let him know though that he needs to make sure it's super clean (along with all the other belongings) or else you end up paying loads at this end to have it cleaned."
