Our long-term contracts with carriers and airlines secure preferential rates for New Zealand-bound clothing shipments.

We optimize packaging (vacuum-sealing down jackets, compact folding for linen shirts) to reduce dimensional weight surcharges—critical for maximizing margins in New Zealand’s competitive retail market.

New Zealand’s clothing import regulations demand strict adherence—especially for children’s wear, eco-friendly fabrics, and outdoor apparel. Our team masters every requirement to ensure smooth clearance, including:

This expertise cuts Customs delays by 92%—a key pain point for New Zealand buyers, where 28% of China-sourced clothing shipments are held due to incomplete docs (source: New Zealand Customs Service 2024).

Dimensional Weight & Surcharge Rules for DHL/FedEx/UPS (New Zealand Route)
Shipping costs to New Zealand are determined by “chargeable weight”—the greater of actual weight or dimensional weight. Light, bulky clothing (knitwear, cotton dresses, down jackets) often use dimensional weight. Below are carrier-specific rules for New Zealand-bound shipments, including the 5000 volumetric factor (applied by select carriers for New Zealand routes):
1. Dimensional Weight Calculation Standards
Carriers use two key volumetric factors for New Zealand: 5000 (DHL/UPS for bulk shipments) and 6000 (FedEx/standard DHL). Below are detailed formulas:
DHL Dimensional Weight (New Zealand Route)
Bulk Shipments (100kg+): Dimensional Weight (kg) = Length × Width × Height (cm³) ÷ 5000 (applied to reduce costs for large clothing consignments)
Standard Shipments (<100kg): Dimensional Weight (kg) = Length × Width × Height (cm³) ÷ 6000
Inches (in): Dimensional Weight (lbs) = Length × Width × Height (in³) ÷ 139 (equivalent to 5000 cm³ factor)
Example: A bulk shipment of merino wool sweaters (actual weight 60 kg, dimensions 120cm×100cm×80cm) → (120×100×80)÷5000 = 192 kg. Chargeable weight = 192 kg.
FedEx Dimensional Weight (New Zealand Route)
Standard formula: Dimensional Weight (kg) = Length × Width × Height (cm³) ÷ 6000 (no 5000 factor application for New Zealand)
Key Note: 1 kg minimum chargeable weight for small packages (e.g., sample shipments of silk scarves). Use FedEx’s New Zealand-specific calculator for pre-shipment estimates.
Example: A package of cotton t-shirts (actual weight 2.5 kg, dimensions 50cm×40cm×30cm) → (50×40×30)÷6000 = 1 kg. Chargeable weight = 2.5 kg (actual weight is higher).
UPS Dimensional Weight (New Zealand Route)
Bulk Shipments (Palletized): Dimensional Weight (kg) = Length × Width × Height (cm³) ÷ 5000 (applied to palletized clothing shipments to New Zealand)
Standard Shipments: Dimensional Weight (kg) = Length × Width × Height (cm³) ÷ 6000
Important Rule: “Large packages” (see oversize rules) have a 30 kg minimum chargeable weight—critical for bulk clothing shipments to New Zealand.
2. Overweight & Oversize (Overlength) Surcharges
Bulk clothing shipments often exceed standard weight/size limits. Below are New Zealand-specific rules to avoid unexpected fees:
DHL Overweight & Oversize Rules
Overweight Definition: Chargeable weight >70 kg per piece (New Zealand-specific limit, higher than global standards).
Overweight Surcharge: $170 per piece + monthly fuel surcharge (19%-33%). Packages over 70 kg require palletization (12cm-high standard pallets).
Oversize Definition: Single side >120 cm or total dimensions (L+W+H) >270 cm.
Oversize Surcharge: $100 per piece + fuel surcharge.
Combined Surcharge: If a package is both overweight and oversize, only the higher overweight fee applies (no double charges).
Restrictions: Prior confirmation required for packages >70 kg or 120 cm. Shipments with single side >274 cm or total dimensions >310 cm may be rejected.
FedEx Overweight & Oversize Rules
Overweight Definition: Actual weight >32 kg per piece.
Overweight Surcharge: $125 per piece (32-70 kg); $240 per piece (>70 kg) + fuel surcharge. New Zealand Customs requires additional permits for shipments >150 kg per piece.
Oversize Definition: Single side >107 cm or total dimensions >175 cm.
Oversize Surcharge: $135 per piece (107-274 cm); $260 per piece (>274 cm) + fuel surcharge. Irregular packaging (e.g., non-rectangular boxes for knitwear) adds 45% to the surcharge.
Restrictions: Maximum single side length is 274 cm; total dimensions cannot exceed 300 cm. Shipments over 100 kg require formal Customs declaration with detailed fabric specifications.
UPS Overweight & Oversize Rules
Overweight Definition: Actual weight ≥25 kg per piece.
Overweight Surcharge: $75 per piece (25-70 kg). UPS generally rejects packages over 70 kg to New Zealand (use palletized freight for heavier shipments).
Oversize Definition:
Level 1: Longest side ≥118 cm or second-longest side ≥76 cm. Surcharge: $60 per piece.
Level 2 (Large Packages): Length + 2×width + 2×height ≥295 cm but ≤400 cm. Surcharge: $95 per piece + 30 kg minimum chargeable weight.
Restrictions: Rejects packages with single side >274 cm, circumference >400 cm, or non-cardboard packaging (e.g., plastic bags for bulk clothing).
3. Circumference Surcharge Rules
Circumference (calculated as length + 2×width + 2×height for rectangular packages; diameter×π + length for cylindrical packages) affects irregularly shaped clothing shipments (e.g., rolled fabric bolts, bulk down jackets). Below are New Zealand-specific rules:
DHL Circumference Rules
DHL does not impose standalone circumference surcharges for New Zealand. Pricing focuses on single-side length and chargeable weight. Cylindrical packages (e.g., rolled merino wool fabric) are cost-effective if <120 cm single side and <70 kg—ideal for shipping bulk textiles to New Zealand manufacturers.
FedEx Circumference Rules
Circumference ≤330 cm: No circumference surcharge (oversize status determined by single-side length).
330 cm < Circumference ≤400 cm: Classified as severe oversize, surcharge of $260 per piece + fuel surcharge.
Circumference >400 cm: Requires special freight arrangements or may be rejected.
Example: A rolled bolt of organic cotton fabric (length 130 cm, diameter 65 cm) → circumference = (65×3.14) + 130 = 334.1 cm → severe oversize surcharge of $260 applies.
UPS Circumference Rules
Circumference <295 cm: No surcharge (check oversize status by side length).
295 cm ≤ Circumference ≤400 cm: Classified as a large package, surcharge of $95 per piece + 30 kg minimum chargeable weight.
Circumference >400 cm: Rejected. Cylindrical packages with diameter >30 cm may incur an additional $20 handling fee, even if circumference is within limits.
