Biosecurity & Import Restrictions
New Zealand has strict biosecurity laws enforced by the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) to protect its unique environment and agricultural industries. As a result, certain products may be subject to additional requirements or may not be permitted to enter New Zealand.
Products containing certain:
- Natural botanicals or dried plant material
- Timber, bamboo, jute or sisal
- Animal-derived materials
- Seeds or other unprocessed plant material
may be subject to New Zealand biosecurity requirements.
Please note: these categories are provided as a general guide only. Whether a particular product can be imported may depend on the specific ingredients, processing and presentation of the item.
What happens if my order contains a restricted item?
At Wax & Lye, we take New Zealand biosecurity requirements seriously and have taken the time to include a International Shipping Notice on products across our range that we believe are likely to cause issues at New Zealand customs.
At this stage, we can only advise on items likely to cause issues, but we cannot prevent you from ordering them initially.
If you choose to place an order containing a product with a Shipping Warning indicating a potential biosecurity restriction, your order will be automatically cancelled and a full refund issued to your original payment method. You will receive an email notification explaining the cancellation.
This process happens before your order is dispatched. If payment has already been processed, the relevant amount will be fully refunded to your original payment method.
You are welcome to reorder any products that are not subject to these restrictions.
Customers are responsible for ensuring that the products they order can be imported into New Zealand. Shipping Warnings provided by Wax & Lye are intended as a guide only and do not replace advice from New Zealand authorities.
Order Tracking
All New Zealand orders include a tracking number sent to the email address used at checkout.
Please check your spam or junk folder if you don't receive it within 24 hours of dispatch.
Refunds & Returns
As outlined in our Refund Policy, WAX & LYE does not accept returns for New Zealand orders. All sales are final.
If your order arrives damaged, please contact us at contact@waxlye.com.au with your order number, tracking number, and photos of the damage.
