Prohibited exports

For some personal reasons, I'd like to send some honey products to TW recently; however I can't do this as easily as I've thought - due to import/export prohibition. I know lots of dairy products such as honey are not allowed to be imported into NZ, and so are not to be exported from NZ (according to Prohibited Exports on NZ Custom Service); but what about honey products such as soap or lip balm?? Unlike pure honeys, these products shouldn't be able to spread any diseases or something like that, but who knows what those authorities are thinking... I just send the authoroty an email and asked them if these honey products are allowed to send by parcel. Hope they'll give me a reply tomorrow, 'coz it's a bit in a hurry...
