New Caledonia is free from numerous diseases and parasites affecting humans, animals and
plants, which are present in other parts of the world. The New Caledonian’s laws do take
these particularities into account in order to maintain the exceptional status of the island.
Consequently, all animals, animal products or products from animal origin, plants, plant
products, and minerals are to be declared when entering New Caledonia and must be covered
by appropriate veterinary and/or phytosanitary certificate.
Some products may be imported by individuals without sanitary certificates while others are
prohibited. The list of products presented hereafter sums up these authorizations and
prohibitions. This list can be modified anytime without warning following new sanitary
information delivered by countries’ counterparts or updated risk analysis. In all cases:
• Conditions apply for goods incoming by air, sea or through the post office, express
mail included (FEDEX, USPS, COLISSIMO…).
• Commercial food products containing less than 20% of animal products (Total net
weight), while declaration is compulsory, are not concerned by prohibition, except for
specific legislation (i.e. animal products from China).
• Family food products may be prohibited, whatever the percentage of animal
ingredients in the good (i.e. Foie Gras, Moon cakes…).
• When products are authorized without certificate, the maximum limit is set to 2 kg per
passenger or mail parcel, whatever the origin of the product.
• By preserve is meant food mix having undergone a heat treatment, in a gas and liquid
tight container, stable at room temperature (no compulsory room temperature on
