What follows is the actual BorderPrep deliverable, solved live by the engine against real rule data — not an idealized demo. It changes as the data changes. Buying it just swaps this combination for yours ($19 USD).

MPI tiers beef products by origin country: beef products from Australia, Canada, the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway, Vanuatu or Japan may be brought in when commercially manufactured, in original sealed and unopened packaging, up to 3 kg; New Zealand-origin meat products up to 20 kg; meat from countries not on the list is not released through the personal channel.
NZ-MEAT-01Declaration requiredSource due for re-check · 2026-11-03MPI tiers beef products by origin country: beef products from Australia, Canada, the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway, Vanuatu or Japan may be brought in when commercially manufactured, in original sealed and unopened packaging, up to 3 kg; New Zealand-origin meat products up to 20 kg; meat from countries not on the list is not released through the personal channel.
※ ★ Modelling gap: the origin field expresses the material source (animal/plant/synthetic), not the country of origin, so the engine cannot itself tell whether an item is on MPI's permitted list. This rule states its verdict for the most common case (US/Australian-origin commercial beef jerky → on the list); if it actually comes from a country off the list, treat it as prohibited. Closing this requires a new origin_country dimension.
NZ-FOOD-DECLARE-01Declaration requiredVerified against source · 2026-11-04MPI: **every food item** brought into New Zealand must be declared on the traveller declaration — verbatim: “All food items brought into New Zealand, even the smallest amounts and ingredients for cooking, need to be declared”, and the list includes grains and pulses.
※ ★ This rule overrides the per-category permitted verdicts given earlier (they answered only whether an item may be brought in, not whether it must be declared). This is a correction, not a side effect: New Zealand genuinely requires travellers to declare every food item. ★ Not modelled: rice has no dedicated category on MPI's food page (the word 'rice' appears only as koji rice starter), and whether PLANT PRODUCTS' '2 kg per product' applies to rice is not stated in source → to verify. ★ Not built for mail/courier: that is a separate customs goods declaration, not read from source this round.
Amounts follow the current publication of New Zealand regulators; we never show unverified numbers on a page. Decision-grade ranges appear in the “penalty exposure” section of the full dossier.
One call answers “do you take it” but never “does the country allow it”. Only after all four questions do you have the complete answer. Note the agent's ID and the time of each answer.
“I want to send Beef jerky / dried beef snack (contains animal-derived material) from [origin country] to New Zealand via carry-on baggage. Does your network accept it?”
Why ask it this way: Ask acceptance first, never compliance — agents are responsible for what they carry, and a compliance question only earns a disclaimer.
“If you accept it: exactly how must the waybill describe the contents? What labels or enclosed documents do you require? Please give me the specific wording.”
Why ask it this way: A waybill description that mismatches the contents is the number-one trigger for inspection. You need exact wording, not “be more detailed”.
“If you don't: which prohibited-items clause applies? Would a change in [processing / packaging / quantity] make it acceptable? Do any of your other services carry it?”
Why ask it this way: Turn “no” into “yes, under condition X” — this question routinely surfaces routes the carrier would never volunteer.
“Is your refusal based on New Zealand import restrictions, or on your own policy? Can you give me the written link or clause number?”
Why ask it this way: This separates the two switches. Carrier policy can be switched; import law cannot — the answer decides your next move.

You may see markers like “not yet verified”, “measurement basis unverified”, or “no rule entry for this combination”. Those aren't defects — they're how the product works: we deliver only what maps to source text, flag the rest explicitly, and tell you who to ask and how.
If your combination is heavily gapped, start with the free verdict page — it won't let you pay for something we're not sure about.
