We were thinking of traveling to New Zealand for our honeymoon and he was curious about the reciprocity laws (if there were any). Any info would be appreciated or how to find the info. Thanks in advance.

There is no international reciprocity of concealed carry in New Zealand
and also
You are not allowed to own or possess a pistol with a standard firearms licence in New Zealand. You may own a pistol if you obtain a "B" endorsement on your firearms licence which requires more stringent vetting, complete safety courses, improved security measures, membership to a Pistol New Zealand affiliated pistol club and an annual minimum attendance at a pistol club. The sole reason for getting your "B" endorcement is competition shooting, thus there is no reason to be wearing a pistol in a holster off a sanctioned range.
You may also own a pistol if you hold a "C" endorcement, that for collectors, though you are not to fire them. "C" endorcements maybe applied for collecting, museum staff etc, theatrical (may fire blanks when movie making etc) purposes. Basically the same more stringent background checks, referees, interviews with police representatives and security measures required of a "B" endorced individual apply for "C" endorcement applicants.
Holders of a "D" or dealers endorsement may also own pistols.
Legally you may only transport a pistol to a range/gunsmith/gun shop etc, and it must be in a stout lockable container. Away trips to competitions and the like require a permit to carry obtained from your local Arms Officer.
They won't accept it. Other countries do not have the gun culture as the U.S.
