FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
If you need to bring medication into New Zealand, plan ahead, because the country has strict rules about what can be carried across the border. As a general guide, bring only a reasonable quantity for your personal use, keep medicines in their original labelled packaging, and carry a copy of the prescription or a letter from your doctor explaining what the medicine is and why you take it.
You must declare medication on your New Zealand Traveller Declaration and to border officials on arrival. Some substances that are freely available elsewhere are controlled or prohibited in New Zealand, so it is important to check the status of your specific medicines before you fly, using official New Zealand government sources. When in doubt, declare and ask. Doing this avoids delays or your medication being confiscated at the border. Your NZeTA authorises your travel; these health rules are separate, so prepare for both.
