DG LCL to New Zealand: two routings, two price levels

The rate sheet lists New Zealand twice. On the Australia–New Zealand routing Auckland sails direct on Monday in 21 days at USD65/CBM, while Wellington, Christchurch, Lyttelton and Noumea relay through Auckland in 31 days at USD130/CBM — Noumea at USD335/CBM. Those are the fastest options and the lowest per-CBM prices on the lane.

The PSA3 quotes route the cargo through Singapore on Saturday or Friday sailings, take 33 to 45 days and carry a per-BILL transhipment handling charge at destination. Choose the routing that fits your delivery date: the ANZ service for speed, the Singapore routing when the direct vessel is full or your cargo needs the PSA3 grade.

How to read this sheet: “Direct” means the carrier's own vessel call, “Transship” means a relay through the port shown. The same destination appears twice when the carrier quotes it on both routings — the sailing day, transit time, minimum and transhipment handling charge all differ, so quote the routing you actually book. CISF is marked N at every New Zealand port.

Rates are the November 2026 Shanghai export DG LCL rates (ETD November 1–14, 2026) plus a USD30/CBM uplift. Guangzhou-origin DG LCL on the same lane is quoted shipment by shipment.

4What does the PSA3 routing via Singapore require before booking?

Under Singapore local rules, dangerous goods are graded PSA1, PSA2 and PSA3. Every booking must supply a 16-item MSDS and the SIN grade is confirmed per shipment; PSA2S and PSA2 are case by case. Transhipment handling is quoted per port: Auckland PSA3 USD250/BILL, Christchurch PSA3 USD200/BILL, Lyttelton PSA3 USD200/BILL and Wellington PSA3 USD300/BILL. Friday sailings accept Yangtze-ban UN cargo and lithium batteries; Saturday sailings do not.

Handling RMB200/BL; export declaration RMB200 per commodity; shipping declaration RMB100 per commodity; Class 4.1 surcharge for out-of-terminal cargo RMB800 per shipment; Class 2 cargo carries a USD200 destination surcharge by default.

6How are VGM and CISF charged on the New Zealand lane?

VGM is USD15/BL. Every New Zealand port on this rate sheet is marked N in the CISF column, so no CISF applies.

7How is the minimum volume calculated for New Zealand cargo?

The minimum is the smallest cube the carrier will bill: a shipment below it is charged at the minimum and the minimum is shown on the bill of lading. The Australia–New Zealand routing and the Auckland, Christchurch and Lyttelton PSA3 quotes all carry a 2 CBM minimum; the Wellington PSA3 quote carries a 3 CBM minimum. The Christchurch, Lyttelton and Wellington PSA3 quotes also state 1 CBM = 333 KGS.

Class 2 carries a USD200 destination surcharge by default. During the hot-weather receiving window (June 15–October 15, 2026) Class 2, 3 and 4.1 cargo is accepted at the warehouse only from 08:00 to 10:00 and from 16:00 to 18:00.

9What packing and delivery rules apply to DG cargo bound for New Zealand?

All dangerous goods must be palletised and carry hazard labels; if we palletise or label the cargo for you, that work is charged separately. Cargo must reach our warehouse no later than four days before the booked sailing, and the warehouse charges a loading and unloading fee that sits outside the RMB local charge package. A Class 4.1 surcharge of RMB800 per shipment applies to out-of-terminal cargo.

10Are rates the same for Shanghai and Guangzhou origins?

The rates on this page are the November 2026 Shanghai export DG LCL rates (ETD November 1–14, 2026) plus a USD30/CBM uplift. Guangzhou-origin DG LCL on the same lane is quoted shipment by shipment.

11Can you arrange DDU or DDP delivery for DG cargo to New Zealand?

Yes. DDU and DDP service is available at all ports on the New Zealand lane, priced on request.
