WHEN TIMING IS PARAMOUNT
Businesses Choose Omega for USA Imports
The United States is one of New Zealand’s key trading partners, supplying everything from technology and automotive parts to consumer goods and industrial equipment.
While the USA offers excellent product quality and a vast network of suppliers, successfully importing requires careful handling of customs compliance, biosecurity regulations, and logistics and of course tariffs.
At Omega Global Logistics, we expertly manage your imports from start to finish, ensuring smooth, reliable, and cost-effective delivery—no surprises.

What's the true cost of mistakes?
Avoiding Customs Delays and Compliance Risks
USA-to-NZ imports must meet strict New Zealand Customs Service (NZCS) and MPI biosecurity regulations.
Misclassification or missing documentation can cause costly delays or even shipment rejections.
Omega’s customs brokerage team ensures:
- Correctly classifying goods (HS Codes), reducing unnecessary duties or GST.
- Providing complete, accurate documentation to avoid clearance delays.
- Ensuring biosecurity compliance for regulated items (e.g., food, wood products, chemicals).
Our expertise ensures your shipment clears customs without unnecessary hold-ups.
WHEN YOU CAN’T TOLERATE DELAYS
Controlling Import Costs and Avoiding Pitfalls
Businesses often underestimate the true cost of importing from the USA. Without expert management, expenses like GST, demurrage, or storage fees can escalate.
Omega controls and clarifies costs upfront by:
- Providing detailed estimates of freight, GST, duties, and fees in advance.
- Proactively addressing compliance issues before goods leave the USA.
- Ensuring quick customs processing to avoid unnecessary storage or demurrage charges.
