I did not have to drain the oil or brake fluid. I had to drain the gas tank. Coolant also remained in the bike.

I can't comment about these from NZ as I have never imported from NZ. I deal with USA, UK & some in Europe. Heaps of stuff from China but not vehicles. All fluids drained from USA vehicles is a definate.
Also, an "Import Licence" is not required for anything other than Specified Dangerous Goods & alcohol (few other items not worth mentioning). So if you were required to get one for your bike & pay for it you got ripped.
You do however need an AU Customs Importers ID number so you can be identified as the owner of a specific shipment. This will cost you around $120. It's not a license, but some mistake it as one.
