The IMPORTERS INSTITUTE is an informal national association of over 300 New Zealand importing companies. We aim to keep members informed on topical issues of interest and to represent importers’ interests before Government policy makers  eg. NZ Customs, MAF, MED  etc. as well as shipping companies, airlines and the transport industry.

Importers views and interests are promoted by us being a member of the Border Sector Industry Stakeholder Forum chaired by NZ Customs Comptroller Martyn Dunne.

The  Institutes Regional Secretary is Ivan Mc Nicholl in Wellington. Daniel Silva from Auckland is the National Secretary.

Members receive Import News, an email news service. They have discounted interactive access to databases of import and export statistics, tariffs, duty concessions and supplier codes.

Together with Chambers of Commerce and universities, the Importers Institute runs training seminars in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. Members receive a discount on seminar fees. Topics include import management and export documentation.

To resolve an issue relative to an industry the Institute acts as a forum for collective action on issues that affect an importer. We are available to assist you with all aspects of importing.
