Customs Requirements

Temporary Entry of Vessels

Vessels owned and operated by bona fide visitors will not be subject to Customs charges (Duty) on arrival. Your vessel will be entered on a Temporary Import Entry (TIE) in which Customs charges are deferred for 12 months. The Master will be required to sign a declaration agreeing to the re-export of the vessel within 12 months from the date of arrival. Any extension of the 12-month period must be discussed with New Zealand Customs prior to the expiration of the period - failure to do so may result in Customs charges being levied.
