Freight to New Zealand, door to door
New Zealand is a natural market for UK exporters, with a shared language and a trade agreement that removed duty on almost all UK goods. Qube Cargo ships to Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and across New Zealand by sea and air, with FCL and LCL container services into Auckland, Tauranga and Lyttelton.
For urgent cargo, we arrange air freight into Auckland and Christchurch. We help you meet New Zealand’s biosecurity rules so goods aren’t held on arrival.

Nestled in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, New Zealand is a captivating island nation renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, diverse wildlife, and unique Maori culture. The history of New Zealand is a tale of Polynesian navigators, European exploration, and the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840, which marked the beginning of a multicultural society.
New Zealand’s geography is a testament to nature’s grandeur, offering everything from the snow-capped Southern Alps and lush rainforests to pristine lakes and rugged coastlines. The country is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, offering opportunities for hiking, skiing, and water sports. New Zealand’s commitment to conservation is evident in its extensive network of national parks and wildlife reserves, preserving its unique flora and fauna. The indigenous Maori culture, with its rich traditions, language, and art forms, adds a vibrant layer to the nation’s identity. The cities of Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch offer modern urban experiences, while smaller towns showcase the country’s charm and hospitality. New Zealand’s warm and welcoming people, known as Kiwis, contribute to the nation’s sense of community and inclusivity, making it a truly extraordinary destination.
