Hookah pipes, water pipes and smoking utensils
Smoking pipes such as those frequently referred to as hookahs, shisha, sheesha, arguileh, hubble-bubbles, Turkish water pipes, bongs, and hash pipes are prohibited imports to New Zealand and liable to seizure upon arrival. These items and roach clips with a pincer or tweezer action are considered in New Zealand law to be cannabis and/or methamphetamine utensils and are therefore unlawful, irrespective of their end use.
