I think the first list you linked to is for the UK. 
I note you can't even send a bottle of whiskey now! Ridiculous!

Isn't this due to the recent suspected problems with the carrying of Lithium (is it lithium?) batteries. Since the carriers can't I assume actually tell what batteries are fitted they have little choice except to set a blanket ban. My wrist watch uses a lithium battery and my hand hasn't fallen off...yet.
All types of battery are available in New Zealand, surely they can buy their own. Just let them know in advance and they can have them ready when the device arrives.

Experience; is something you gain, just after you needed it most.
When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin. It works not because it settles the question for you. But because in that brief moment while the coin is in the air. You suddenly know what you are hoping for.

If you are feeling bored, disassemble a lithium battery under oil and scape the gunk off the lithium metal. Hold the metal in a pair of pliers (away from the oil) and set light to it. You'll soon understand why carriers are a bit iffy about carrying lithium batteries, because a battery short circuit can trigger a similar effect. The resultant flare can be a bit of a drag if it occurs in a cargo hold mid-flight.
Now Zen, but a +Net residue.

Or just ask Boeing about the Dreamliner auxiliary power batteries.
