CUSTOMS RELEASE
KEEPING YOU INFORMED

 
Issue69910 March 2023
A reminder that Temporary Import Entries are due to expire

In January 2022, Customs issued a notice that the COVID-19 extension for vessels that were in New Zealand on a C4G/Temporary Import Entry, would conclude on 30th of June 2022. 

Customs accepted at the time of that reminder notice, that under the COVID-19 environment there were a number of vessels that were unable to comply. Customs took this into consideration and the date was extended for a further twelve (12) months. 

The final date for the export of vessels is 30 June 2023. 

   
  
   
New smoked tobacco record-keeping requirements 

Manufacturers, importers, exporters, distributors and retailers of regulated products (smoked tobacco, vaping, herbal smoking and smokeless tobacco products) are now responsible for keeping accurate records relating to all of their regulated products.  

More information is available from the Ministry of Health.
