Hi, just don't bring food, you will get a fine for even a apple ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4393515.stm ), don't worry about pirated cd's as long as you don't have 100's of them in jewel cases with phony lables on them, i.e you arn't going to sell them, I don't think anyone has been done for pirated cd's or even software for personal use. http://www.customs.govt.nz/travellers/Arriving+in+New+Zealand/default.htm

We were so worried about the customs that we threw out all kinds of snacks in Fiji. When we arrived we declared that we have food b/c we had some packaged chips & cookies. The guy just asked us what we had and then waved us through. We didn't even have to go to the special search side. As long as you declare everything they won't fine you. If in doubt - declare. _________________ My New Zealand Travel Blog
