Hello wonderful forumites. I did a site search and didn't see a recent thread on this, so I wanted to give it a go. I was thinking that people who are about to make the move (like us) usually have a ton of questions about whether a particular item is available in New Zealand. If we had a running list, it would be easy for people to see all the items at once, and either give a reply or keep an eye out for that item (if you're already in NZ). In some cases, those who may have already tried to bring in an item can advise on whether it's allowed to be brought in by suitcase or not.
For example, I would like to know if anyone has seen:
Chickory coffee (does this give away my Southern roots?)
Frantoia olive oil
OTC Zyrtec or Claritin (it's OTC in the USA, but not sure about NZ, and my allergies are wicked)
Kinesio Tape (also called K-tape)
Two new knees (I'm in desperate need )
If you guys think it's a good idea, and I haven't missed an already running thread somewhere , please add on more items and respond if you have seen that item, and where.
