Customs Number or Client Code: What Is It and Do You Need It?
Did you know that if you’re planning on bringing items into NZ (importing) or sending items overseas (exporting) that are worth over NZ$1000, you need to apply for a Customs Number or a Client Code with New Zealand Customs Service?
If you are a private individual importing or exporting for your own use, you will need to apply for a Customs Number.
If you have brought in or sent items overseas worth over NZ$1000 previously, you do not need to apply for a Customs Number – you would have received notification of this via email from Customs or your Broker.
If you have never brought in or sent items overseas worth over NZ$1000, you will need to apply for a Customs Number.
You will need to complete Customs Number Application for An Individual Person form which can be found on the NZ Customs website.
Email the completed form and a copy of your photo ID to Customs via the email address provided on the form.
You will receive your Customs Number by email.
You can also contact a Customs broker to liaise with NZ Customs on your behalf.

If you’re planning to import items for commercial purposes (to sell or to use in a business) or are a Sole Trader, you will need to apply for a Client Code.
Client Code for commercial use is a unique number that identifies commercial importers and exporters.
Client codes are only issued to New Zealand entities (such as registered New Zealand companies).
A client code is required as part of the import and export entry preparation and Customs clearance for shipments valued at NZ$1000 or more.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
