Can we carry engineering electronics stuffs to New Zealand?

I am traveling to New Zealand in Feb 2018 for studies.I have some electronics stuffs for my projects, blog and learning such as following:

Few Micro-controllers such as Arduino, BeagleBoard etc and USB based Logic Analyzer
Some passive elements like resistors, capacitors, diodes etc.
Few sensors
A couple of IC's and 9V batteries
A Multimeter
And a bunch of wires

All the above, I will pack it in one compact box. So can I carry these stuffs while I travel through Air?.

If not, would it be possible to send it via courier along with some other stuffs of mine before I travel?.

Any information on this would be helpful.

I had no problem at all carrying a similar setup for Raspberry Pi a few months ago on Emirates as hand baggage into NZ, including wires, "hat boards", motors and sensors. I did not carry any batteries - I would suggest you buy those locally if you can avoid taking them.

I did get asked at Heathrow and at Bangkok what it all was, but that barely held me up for 30 seconds.

Umbrellas are not subject to any restrictions and are permitted in your carry-on or checked in luggage.

Can you bring food on a plane NZ?

The only restriction on flying with food on a domestic flight is having it squashed in your luggage. You will pass through security on a jet flight from Auckland so anything over 100mls will have to be in your checked luggage and you have the risk of spillage.
