Gary the company is called Isotron their number is 011 974 8859 - they are listed in the yellow pages. Give them a try. They should issue certificates.

Contamination control
Various materials are routinely treated at our sites to achieve microbial reduction ie, to reduce, or eliminate altogether, the number of microorganisms. Isotron's processing technologies are of particular benefit in ensuring that naturally derived materials, typically with high microbiological counts, are sanitised prior to being incorporated into the final product. Isotron's treatment processes are routinely used to treat cosmetics and toiletries, pharmaceutical raw materials, veterinary products, laboratory disposables, dyes and colourants, horticultural products, food packaging and food.
Each of these product types is very different in terms of material composition and the initial level of microbial activity (the bioburden) and hence the processing conditions necessary to meet a given microbial specification will differ. It is also essential that the materials used in the product are compatible with the process. We have the expertise and variety of treatments to ensure that the appropriate solution is available to satisfy these conditions.

i contacted the NZ customs guys and they were very quick to comeback with the following info.
if you are going on holiday don't bother taking materials, they will impond them and treat them and charge you to get the stuff back. however if you are immigrating then make sure all materials are listed and packed in the front of the container. they will treat the materials and send them on to your final destination. you will pay around $20.00 via post for return.
my brother in law now has a difficult choice, and i'm eyeing a couple of his capes!!!!
If I were moving there I would definitely do my best to get them through. Even if they are going to take a while to come through to me.

Good info there Gary, I've learned something. It pays to go to the horse's mouth. $20 to get a substantial shipment of materials into the country is nothing really, well worth it.
But the question is: How much do you really like you brother-in-law? If the answer is "not so much" then just tell him that they won't be allowed in, but that you are happy to take them off his hands.
Gary,
Other thing is it depends a lot on how they are going over. If it is official immigration with stuff organized from this side, no problems.
If they going over on a "holiday" and then sorting out jobs etc that side, going over with a huge amount of tying material may cause some very uncomfortable questions on the other side.
Tell him to go live in Gore toward the bottom of the SI, pretty much the NZ equivalent of Rhodes i.t.o. amount of awesome water within a 50km radius, only difference is the fish are about 10 times bigger and mostly browns
