Clearing Immigration, Customs and Biosecurity in Auckland

[Lutèce]

I originally asked a similar question in NZ ports of call.

Has anyone any experience in how long it takes from setting foot on dry land

( our documents state everyone has to be off the ship by 10.00)

to collecting luggage, clearing Immigration Customs and Biosecurity? We need to know so as to arrange a pickup from the quay. Is any customs clearance etc done before docking and are there separate immigration desks for NZ and non NZ citizens like there are at the airport?

This will not be a ship coming from Australia when I believe certain procedures may take place while crossing the Tasman Sea en route from Australia to New Zealand.

Thank you
