The Ministry for Primary Industries says restrictions on moving fruit and vegetables within in Auckland are no longer in place after a fruit fly scare.
However, it was important people still kept an eye out for the Tau fly and other pest fruit fly species.
A single male Tau fly was found in a surveillance trap in Manurewa in January. It was the first time that one had been found in New Zealand.
Tau flies could destroy some horticultural crops including pumpkins, melons, cucumbers, capsicum, zucchini, eggplant, beans, papaya, mangoes and passion fruit.
However, it was extremely unlikely the fly would have been able to establish in New Zealand's cool climate.
The Tau fly scare followed on from a small population of Queensland fruit fly being found in Auckland's Grey Lynn in February last year.
About 80% of New Zealand's horticulture crops are susceptible to attack by the Queensland fruit fly.
The Queensland fruit fly was declared eradicated after a 10-month community-wide campaign.
The ministry monitors for the presence of about 100 species of fruit fly using lure traps, as the absence of the flies enables export of fruit and vegetables without treating it.
In the 2014-2015 season, there were 4920 traps in Auckland, of 7651 nationwide.
There have been nine interceptions of economically important fruit flies since 1989.
