New Zealand is a long way from most manufacturers. Sourcing offshore can take twenty percent off a materials line and add ten weeks to the programme.
We take a position on each line - source offshore where the lead time is tolerable, buy locally where it is not - and we own the consequence either way.
What we deliver
- Line-by-line make-or-buy and source-local-or-offshore analysis
- Offshore supplier qualification and quality verification
- Local distributor pricing and stock availability checks
- Landed cost comparison including freight, duty and GST
- Compliance verification against AS/NZS requirements
- Consolidated shipping and customs coordination
- Single accountable party for the whole materials line

| Accountability | One party responsible for both channels |
Proof
- Landed-cost comparison on every material line
- AS/NZS compliance verified before purchase
- Programme impact priced, not assumed
Landed cost is only half the question
A landed-cost comparison tells you what a line will cost through each channel. It does not tell you who is legally allowed to bring the goods in, and that is the part that stops shipments.
Customs authorities clear commercial goods to a party with standing in that country. If the company on the invoice has none, the consignment goes into bond and the saving you modelled starts being eaten by storage. So the importer has to be named in the analysis, not assumed.
- Importer of record identified for every offshore line before the channel decision is made
- Recoverable and non-recoverable tax separated, because they are not the same cost
- Export control checked on encryption-capable equipment before the order is placed
- Biosecurity and packaging requirements priced into the offshore option honestly
- Programme impact of a held consignment carried in the risk line, not left out of it
We are the importer of record into New Zealand ourselves, and appoint and manage that role in other markets. Both are set out on our importer and exporter of record page.
