Download Implementing the Border Clearance Levy: Consultation Document

The Government has decided to implement a Border Clearance Levy from 1 January 2016 to fully recover the costs that Customs and MPI incur in providing biosecurity services to travellers. All travellers will be required to pay the Levy on arrival and departure from New Zealand (unless made exempt). This consultation document seeks input from interested parties on how the Levy will be implemented and on the proposed design.
