1. Australia – honey restriction: Due to Australian customs and import restrictions, we are unable to ship pure honey to Western Australia. Other eligible products can still be shipped there.

4. Delivery timeframes: Delivery estimates are guides only. Public holidays, Christmas periods, customs clearance and circumstances outside the carrier's control can cause delays. Some shipping services may not be available to every destination.

5. Prepaid duties, tax & handling: For orders shipped to the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Austria, Germany, Japan and Jordan, applicable import duties, taxes and carrier handling charges are prepaid, so there should be no additional import charges to pay on delivery.

6. Duties and taxes for other destinations: Unless specifically stated as prepaid above, it is the customer's responsibility to check and pay any applicable import duty, tax or customs charges. Import regulations vary significantly between countries and can change without notice. While we do our best to provide relevant information, we cannot guarantee awareness of every country's individual requirements. If we know of a specific product or import restriction, we will make every effort to highlight it on the relevant product page.

Important Shipping Notes:

  • Customs restrictions and returned orders: ManukaHoneyofNZ.com cannot accept liability for goods confiscated or refused entry by a destination country's customs authority or other government body. If an order is returned to us by the destination country's import authorities in resalable condition, we will refund the value of the returned products, less any postage or other costs incurred by Manuka Honey of NZ. A refund can only be processed once the products have been received back by us.
  • Please note: We reserve the right to refuse orders or negotiate delivery if orders are particularly large. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure the correct delivery address details have been entered at the time of ordering. We will not be liable for any costs associated with resending an order due to the delivery address details being incorrect.
  • Need help? If you have any questions about shipping or import requirements, contact our customer service team at enquiry@ManukaHoneyofNZ.co.nz. If you have concerns about your country's import regulations, we also recommend checking with your local customs authority before ordering.
