What's the fuss?
New Zealand has some of the strictest biosecurity measures to ensure the continued survival of protected species. To ensure that unwanted pests and diseases stay out of the country you must follow the rules set out by the Ministry of Primary Industries. This includes not being allowed to bring raw foods such as fruit and meat into the country. When you reach one of New Zealand’s borders you’ll be presented with an arrival card that must be filled out and signed. This is a legal document and if filled out incorrectly fines will occur.
