It can't be too hard. During the 1990's there was a dealer here in Perth buying up stuff from salvage yards and shipping about a container a month back to NZ. He did this for a couple of years.

NZ has been a ready market for Ausie hardwoods for years.

Not that this has anything to do with wood, Macca's source their spuds through Simplot and Mcains who contract growers in Tasmania and NZ not China
