If you clear immigration in NZ you will go through customs there. Cheers, | 1 | |
Be especially careful to declare anything edible you are carrying. | 2 | |
New Zealand's customs procedures are a lot stricter than Fiji's. For example, NZ are interested in whether your footwear has soil on it from outside the country and exactly what food and drink you're bringing in. Fiji didn't seem that bothered. So, if you have to leave the airport in NZ, and not just stay in the transit area, make sure you have clean shoes... | 3 | |
