Are there any restrictions on shipping wine and flowers internationally?

Specifically to New Zealand. And I mean just sticking wine in a box with a couple of flowers. Not ordering through any company like ftd or anything. Thanks!

Are there any restrictions on shipping wine and flowers internationally?
There are laws regarding liquor importation and plant importation. There are duties and taxes etc to consider as well. It's better to use the ftd thing as they get the stuff locally and if imported stuff you want, if it is available there then they can get that (for a price).





Plants can be quarantined and some are banned altogether from importation. So check first prior to doing this. Also some places have to have liquor lic to import, so if personal travel and bring it with you is one thing, if sending is another altogether.
