Shipping Aviation Gear to the USA

Shipping to the USA

Shipping from New Zealand to the United States

Pilot Shop NZ ships selected products directly from New Zealand to customers across the USA.

As a specialist aviation retailer, we stock a range of aviation accessories, charts, pilot supplies, safety equipment, and unique products that may not always be available through US retailers.

What Products Make Sense to Buy from New Zealand?

The best value is typically found in:

  • Hard-to-find aviation accessories
  • Specialty pilot equipment
  • Aviation gifts and collectibles
  • Flight bags and organisational products
  • Selected survival and safety equipment
  • New Zealand and Pacific aviation merchandise
  • Products unavailable or difficult to source in the USA

Many popular international brands already have strong US distribution, so we recommend comparing pricing and shipping costs before ordering.

Shipping Costs

Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on:

  • Product weight and dimensions
  • Delivery destination
  • Shipping service selected

You will see the full shipping cost before payment is completed.

Delivery times are estimates only and may vary due to customs processing, weather events, airline schedules, or peak shipping periods.

Customs, Duties & Taxes

Orders shipped from New Zealand may be subject to US customs requirements.

Any import duties, taxes, customs fees, or brokerage charges imposed by US authorities are the responsibility of the recipient.

Pilot Shop NZ has no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be.

Tracking

All eligible shipments include tracking.

Tracking information will be emailed once your order has been dispatched, allowing you to monitor your shipment throughout its journey.

Dangerous Goods & Restricted Items

Some aviation products cannot be shipped internationally due to airline or dangerous goods regulations.

Examples may include:

  • Aerosols
  • Certain batteries
  • Flares and pyrotechnics
  • Some survival equipment
  • Hazardous liquids and chemicals

If an item cannot be shipped to the USA, this will usually be indicated on the product page or we will contact you before dispatch.

Returns

If you need to return an item from the USA, please contact our team before shipping the product back.

Customers are generally responsible for return shipping costs unless the item is faulty or supplied incorrectly.

For full details, please see our Returns Policy.
