To cruise vessels arriving in New ZealandGreetings and welcome to New Zealand

Nau mai, haere mai ki Aotearoa

This information pack is designed to assist cruise vessel operators and New Zealand-based agents with border clearance formalities on arrival and departure from New Zealand.

PASSENGER AND CREW PROCESSINGNew Zealand Customs Service and Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) offi cers can process passengers and crew either en-route to New Zealand or on arrival in New Zealand. Processing large numbers of passengers and crew on arrival can cause delays in disembarkation. These delays may be avoided if arrangements are made for offi cers to join the vessel at the previous overseas port eg, Sydney or Papeete.

Border offi cials will arrange pre-season meetings with cruise vessel agents to plan resource requirements for the season.

PORTS OF ENTRYAll cruise vessels arriving in, or departing from New Zealand must report to a place which is both an approved port of fi rst arrival (as required under the Biosecurity Act 1993) and a Customs place (as required under the Customs and Excise Act 1996). These are as follows:

Cruise vessels may not enter or depart from a ‘non-approved port’ (eg, Stewart Island) unless prior approval to do so has been granted. Applications seeking approval must be submitted prior to the commencement of the season.

The Ministry for Primary Industries encourages all cruise vessel operators to manage their hulls to ensure hulls, including niche areas, are free of biofueling when cruising in New Zealand waters. This is particularly crucial for vessels visiting high value areas such as Fiordland.

Agents must apply in writing, in advance of arrival of the vessel, to both the New Zealand Customs Service and Ministry for Primary Industries as detailed below:

Maritime Declaration of HealthIn accordance with Article 37 of the Maritime Declaration of Health Regulations 2005, the New Zealand Ministry of Health requires all vessels arriving in New Zealand to report to health authorities on the health conditions on board during the voyage and the health status of passengers and crew.

For this purpose a New Zealand Ministry of Health Maritime Declaration of Health must be completed by the master of the vessel, and countersigned by the ship’s surgeon if one is carried, and delivered to health offi cials after arrival.

Also in accordance with Article 39 of the International Health Regulations 2005, all vessels travelling in international waters after June 2007 are required to hold a current Ship Sanitation Control Certifi cate or a Ship Sanitation Control Exemption Certifi cate.

These certifi cates must be renewed at least every six months so ship sanitation control inspections need to be undertaken at six monthly intervals. Health offi cials are available to undertake a ship sanitation control inspection if the certifi cate is due to expire within the next month or before a vessel’s arrival at the next port.

Importation of prohibited and restricted itemsNew Zealand has an enviable reputation for its clean and green image and has strict laws to protect its citizens and natural environment.

Penalties may be imposed on passengers and crew if they breach those laws by illegally importing:

» llicit drugs

» fi rearms, weapons, or ammunition

» objectionable articles (indecent)

» some medicinal products including performanceenhancing drugs.

» animal or plant material or soil

» some food items

» endangered species of fl ora and fauna and productsderived from these endangered species.

If passengers or crew are unsure about the items in their possession, they must make a declaration on the relevant forms.

To fi nd out how to legally import fi rearms, visitors should contact the Licensing and Vetting Service Centre, Offi ce of the Commissioner, New Zealand Police, PO Box 3017, Wellington, New Zealand (www.police.govt.nz).

» Stores list.

WHAT ARE THE CLEARANCE PROCESSING PROCEDURES?

Shipping agent responsibilities — air travelThe shipping agent is to provide a letter to both Customs and Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) officers, who are involved in en route processing, to show that they are joining a passenger vessel for outward travel from the overseas port to New Zealand (without this letter the airline may not carry them). The shipping agent must forward air tickets to the officers, at their port, prior to departure.

Documentation for passengers and crewBefore the clearance process starts, Customs officers will liaise with the purser to obtain the following:

This fact sheet details the documentation to be produced which satisfies the statutory requirements relating to the movement of people, goods, and craft, under the Customs and Excise Act 1996. This documentation enables the New Zealand Customs Service to manage the risks posed by people, goods, and craft arriving in New Zealand.

CUSTOMS FACT SHEET 26

» disembarking passenger and crew lists.

» transit passenger and crew lists.

» all passenger and crew passports for those passengers and crew finally disembarking in New Zealand.

» evidence of outward ticketing for disembarking passengers and crew from non-visa waiver countries, who intend to depart New Zealand by air after the cruise ship has departed from New Zealand.

» a completed New Zealand Passenger Arrival Card for all disembarking passengers and crew.

» a list of visitors to the vessel while in New Zealand (if available).

Advanced passenger informationCustoms requires that all cruise vessels provide advanced passenger information of all persons on board. Vessels are required to provide this information at least 48 hours prior to the vessel arriving in New Zealand territorial waters.

The agreed format is a CSV file produced from a Customs API template. Please contact your New Zealand shipping agency representative for further details and a copy of the file template or visit the Customs website at www.customs.govt.nz. All API file attachments should be sent to the New Zealand Customs Service via email at [email protected].

Telephone: +64 9 927 8440

Mobile: +64 29 359 6622

Facsimile: +64 9 927 8010

WHAT VISAS DO DISEMBARKING PASSENGERS OR CREW REQUIRE? Ship’s crew and passengers remaining on the vessel (arriving and departing on the same ship within 28 days) are deemed to be entered into New Zealand. As a result they do not need any Customs processing.

» Spirits or liqueurs — 3 x 1,125ml bottle per 10 days

» Cigarettes — 20 cigarettes per day or

» Tobacco — 250 grams per 10 days or

» Cigars — 5 (regardless of weight) per 10 days.

To avoid the need for additional stores requisitions while the vessel is in New Zealand, overall quantities of these stores can be issued at one time for a minimum 10 day period, and will normally cover the period that the craft is in New Zealand.

This entitlement is subject to the condition that no passengers or cargo are embarked at one port in New Zealand for disembarkation at another port in New Zealand.

WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR CASH REPORTING?Every person who arrives in New Zealand and has in their possession cash in excess of $10,000 in any denomination is required to complete a Border Cash Report (Form NZCS 337). Cash means physical currency, bearer-negotiable instruments, or both. A bearer-negotiable instrument means a bill of exchange, a cheque, a promissary note, a bearer bond, a traveller’s cheque, a money order, postal order or similar order, any instrument prescribed by regulations under the Act.

WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR PERSONAL GOODS?All passengers disembarking (ie not rejoining the craft) in New Zealand are required to complete a New Zealand Passenger Arrival Card. Goods purchased or acquired overseas that will remain in New Zealand after the person departs and exceed $700 in total value are required to be declared in the section provided. The Customs booklet Advice to Travellers (which can be found on the Customs website www.customs.govt.nz) fully explains the various concessions available to travellers.

Ship’s crew and passengers who are permanently disembarking from the vessel will be processed in one of two ways:

» those travelling on a visa waiver passport will be issued with a visitor visa in accordance with their citizenship.

» those travelling on a visa required nationality passport will be issued with a border entry stamp in accordance with their valid visa if one has been already obtained, or a visitor visa in accordance with their outward travel arrangements. The Customs officer will need to sight evidence of outward ticketing to determine the length of visa.

Where there is no evidence of outward travel, on arrival the passenger or crew member will be referred to Immigration New Zealand for a decision on visa length, and will not be permitted to leave the craft until Immigration New Zealand requirements are satisfied.

WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR SHIPS STORES?Ships stores are any goods (including tobacco and alcohol) for use or consumption on board a craft by passengers or crew, or for the service of a craft. (Duty free stores are stores, which may under certain conditions, be shipped from New Zealand free of Customs duty).

Ships stores, for consumption on board, are permitted to be issued from the ship’s bond during the stay of a cruise vessel in New Zealand. This must be in line with the quantities approved by Customs, according to the number of passengers and crew, and the length of the craft’s stay in New Zealand.

The following quantities may be approved, per person, as ships stores:

» Beer — 3 x cans or bottles not exceeding 375mls per day or

» Wine — 1 x 750ml bottle per day or

4 Customs Requirements for Processing Cruise Vessels

26A CUSTOMS FACT SHEET » IMPORTANT INFORMATION

ISSN 1175-396X

Issue date June 2011

BACKGROUNDThe New Zealand Customs Service has, for a number of years, provided the following processing options to cruise vessels arriving in New Zealand:

En route processing » — Customs offi cers travel to the last overseas port prior to New Zealand and join the vessel. They travel back to New Zealand processing all landing (defi ned as fi nally disembarking the vessel somewhere in New Zealand) passengers and crew.

Alongside processing » — The vessel is processed on arrival at the fi rst Customs port of entry. Generally, this option is only used where vessels are in transit through New Zealand and only have minimal numbers landing (less than 100) or have a small capacity. Alongside processing will delay any disembarkation of passengers or crew until the vessel is Customs/Immigration and Quarantine cleared. Cruise companies also need to be mindful that, at smaller Customs ports, there may be a reduced level of resource available, which can impact on processing times.

SUPPLEMENTARY REQUIREMENTS EN ROUTE AND ALONGSIDE PROCESSING OF CRUISE VESSELS

Decisions regarding whether or not a vessel requires alongside or en route processing are fi nalised during the planning phase prior to the commencement of the cruise season. This is conducted by agreement between cruise companies, local representatives, Customs, and Quarantine.

In New Zealand, Customs undertakes the border functions on behalf of Immigration New Zealand. This means that Customs offi cers ensure that the Immigration Services’ entry and exit requirements are met at the border, including the issuing of visas or border entry stamps to those people holding valid entry visas for New Zealand, or those from a visa-waiver country.

EN ROUTE PROCESSING

What are the accommodation requirements for en route processing?The number of Customs offi cers deployed relates directly to the number of landing passengers and crew required to be processed prior to arrival in New Zealand and the number of days available to process them.

Offi cers must be provided with suitable accommodation onboard:

Generally, this is a passenger cabin, »but if the vessel is at capacity, ship’s offi cers’ cabins are an acceptable alternative.

Customs offi cers do not share »cabins. Customs staff travel with a reasonable amount of processing equipment along with their personal luggage. In the average passenger cabin, this would result in there only being limited space.

Offi cers are deployed on a national »basis and often will not know their fellow offi cers; therefore, they should not be expected to share a cabin with them. Compounding this is that deployments are often mixed, with males and females being deployed.

Offi cers should reasonably expect »their own personal space once they have completed their processing duties each day.

Vessels requiring both Customs and Quarantine en route offi cers should reserve suffi cient cabins well in advance of any deployments. Confi rmation of this should be made to New Zealand agents prior to any deployments being undertaken.

This fact sheet is to provide information relating to en route processing and alongside processing for arriving cruise vessels, to ensure that pursers/clearance staff on-board are fully aware of New Zealand Customs requirements for either option. For additional information, also refer to Fact Sheet 26.

CUSTOMS FACT SHEET 26A

2 Supplementary Requirements En Route and Alongside Processing of Cruise Vessels

What ship preparation is required for en route processing?In preparation for en route processing, pursers/clearance staff should:

fi nalise lists of passengers and »crew who will be fi nally landing in New Zealand

provide advance notice to those »landing passengers that they will be required to report to New Zealand Customs/Immigration and Quarantine offi cials at a designated time, day, and venue

provide landing passengers »(and crew) with a New Zealand Passenger Arrival Card (one per landing passenger), which must be completed prior to arriving at the processing venue

arrange a suitable venue that will »cope with the numbers required to be processed – ideally, this should only have one entry point and one exit point to ensure all persons are correctly processed for Customs and Quarantine purposes, and the venue should be booked for suffi cient time to allow processing to occur or, in the case of larger numbers, processing can be scheduled over two days (if possible) – this should be discussed with en route offi cers at the initial meeting onboard.

Suffi cient time must be allowed to process the landing passengers and crew. Large numbers landing (1,500+) will take most of a day, and even greater numbers (2,500+) will most likely take a day and a half to process.

There also needs to be suffi cient pursers/other staff to assist with managing the process to ensure all passengers requiring processing report to the venue and that processing fl ows correctly and passengers are not able to circumvent either process.

Customs offi cers email this information from the laptops back to Customs in New Zealand. To enable this to occur, they will require a computer with external internet access with the ability to send and receive attachments. Generally this is done from the purser’s offi ce due to the restricted access available to send and receive attachments from the ship’s normal internet cafes.

What other duties do en route processing offi cers have?En route offi cers have several other functions to perform during their deployment:

Face to passport checks of transit »passengers and crew — Offi cers are required to conduct a percentage check of those passengers and crew in transit through New Zealand. From the transit passenger and crew lists, offi cers will randomly select a number of individuals who will be required to report to the offi cers at a prearranged time and venue along with their passports. These individuals will not be required to complete an arrival card. It is important that these passengers and crew do not present themselves during the processing of the landing passengers and crew, as this will cause confusion.

Processing of any overland »passengers — Overland passengers are defi ned as those who will disembark at one New Zealand port and rejoin the vessel at a subsequent port within New Zealand. This commonly occurs in Milford Sound where small numbers of passengers will disembark and travel overland to Dunedin where they rejoin the vessel. All overland passengers are to be screened by Customs and Quarantine en route offi cers prior to the passengers disembarking.

What does en route processing involve? The following is an overview of the process and the essential elements required to ensure a streamlined operation:

Offi cers will generally join vessels »at the last overseas port prior to New Zealand.

Offi cers will arrange to meet with »pursers/clearance staff once the vessel has departed port. This meeting is to discuss processing requirements and, if required, view the proposed processing area.

Processing will normally occur on »the fi rst sea day out of port. On longer deployments, this may occur on subsequent days.

Offi cers will data capture all landing »passengers and crew using laptops and passport readers.

Every landing passenger is required »to present themselves in person to the Customs and Quarantine staff. If individuals are unwell and unable to attend the process, alternative arrangements can be made with the processing offi cers to see these persons at a later time.

Passengers must ensure they bring »their arrival forms along with their passport to the processing venue.

Generally, passengers will go through »the Customs/Immigration process fi rst then move on the Quarantine process before exiting.

Landing crew are normally processed »once all passengers have been processed. Arrangements can be discussed at the initial onboard meeting.

Once all landing passengers and »crew have been processed, and the reconciliation between ships lists and actual number data captured (processed) has been completed,

Issue date June 2011 3

Meet with ships security offi cer » — This is to enable offi cers to provide a general risk assessment of the vessel and its passengers and crew.

Complete ship’s inward »paperwork — Generally this is completed on the last day before arriving in New Zealand.

What happens on arrival in New Zealand?Upon the vessel’s arrival at the fi rst Customs port of entry, local Customs and Quarantine shipping staff will board and meet with the en route offi cer(s) to receive an update, and they will also collect copies of inward paperwork.

The local Customs port manager will also board to meet and debrief the offi cer in charge of the Customs staff deployed. This is to ensure all standards of performance and behaviour have been met.

Offi cers will then settle any onboard accounts for personal purchases and check out of their rooms before departing the vessel.

ALONGSIDE PROCESSINGAlongside processing is utilised for vessels that transit through New Zealand with minimal numbers of passengers or crew fi nally landing in New Zealand, or for smaller vessels that can easily be processed on arrival without any unnecessary delays.

What are the requirements for alongside processing?To ensure minimal delays on arrival, pursers/clearance staff should ensure that all passengers and crew who will be landing in New Zealand (fi nally disembarking) have completed a New Zealand Passenger Arrival Card.

What does alongside processing involve? All passengers and crew who will be landing in New Zealand (fi nally disembarking) must report immediately on arrival to a designated area on board, bringing with them their completed forms and passport to enable them to be processed by Customs and Quarantine staff.

On completion of this processing, offi cers will undertake the face to passport check of a selected number of transit passengers and crew. (These will have been preselected prior to arrival in consultation with local shipping agents and Customs cruise ship coordinators.)

Once these functions are completed, the vessel is deemed to be Customs cleared and passengers and crew will be allowed to go ashore.

Formalities such as inward paperwork will be completed at this time.

» Part B — Supporting documentation (see below) relating to goods and persons on board.

» Part C — Outward crew list.

The outward report must be signed by the owner or person in charge of the craft. It may not be signed by any other person.

supporting documentation

The following documentation should be attached to the outward report if applicable. Otherwise enter a nil return:

» Cargo manifest — if the craft is carrying commercial cargo.

» Full passenger list — all passengers on board.

» Craft stores requisitions — a form used to apply for approval to ship stores duty-free from New Zealand, and receipt or validate that the stores have been received on board the craft.

» Controlled drugs and firearms list.

» Crew lists — transit and embarking.

what aRe the CleaRanCe PRoCessing PRoCeDuRes?On departure, most cruise ship passengers are processed at a Customs place, usually at the port where the passenger exchange is expected to occur. Approval to be processed elsewhere must be obtained from the New Zealand Customs Service prior to departure.

The embarkation process is generally

conducted alongside, due to the numbers of passengers and crew joining the vessel. This may not necessarily occur at the last port.

at the last portCustoms officers will liaise with the purser to obtain the following:

» Passports or identity documents of any embarking passengers and crew that may have joined the vessel since the passenger exchange at any previous ports.

» Embarking passenger and crew list (passengers and crew joining the craft for departure only).

» Transit passenger and crew list (passengers and crew who have arrived and are departing on the same craft).

» Completed New Zealand Passenger Departure Cards for all embarking passengers and crew as above.

Departure advanced Passenger informationA departure API file including all passengers and crew onboard should be sent no later than 24 hours after a vessels departure from its final New Zealand Port. API files should be sent to [email protected]

what aRe the RequiRements foR shiPs stoRes?Ships stores are any goods (including tobacco and alcohol) for use or consumption on board a craft by passengers or crew, or for the service of a craft. Duty-free stores are stores which may, under certain conditions, be shipped from New Zealand free of Customs duty.

To obtain approval from the New Zealand Customs Service to ship the stores, the owner, agent, or person in charge must complete Form NZCS 325 — Requisition for Ships Stores and email it to the New Zealand Customs Service at [email protected] no later than 12 hours prior to departure. The form must be fully completed, including the quantity of stores on board, and must be signed and dated. (Ship provedores normally undertake this process as agent for the master of a cruise vessel.)

Stores cannot be delivered to the vessel unless approval from the New Zealand Customs Service has been granted.

The requisition form must be receipted (signed, dated, and stamped) by the person in charge of the craft, or on their behalf, when the stores are received on board. The provedore must retain a copy for audit purposes.

what aRe the RequiRements foR Cash RePoRting?Every person who departs from New Zealand and has in their possession cash in excess of $10,000 in any denomination, is required to complete a Border Cash Report (Form NZCS 337). Cash means physical currency, bearer-negotiable instruments, or both. A bearer-negotiable instrument means a bill of exchange, a cheque, a promissory note, a bearer bond, a traveller’s cheque, a money order postal order, or similar order, or any instrument prescribed by regulations under the Act.

WHY ARE CREW AND PASSENGER LISTS REQUIRED?One of the ways the New Zealand Customs Service operates to protect New Zealand’s border is through managing the risks associated with the fl ow of people in and out of New Zealand. Receiving electronic information in advance means that the risk assessment process can be carried out effi ciently.

The Customs and Excise Act 1996 requires that arriving craft present an Advance Notice of Arrival and an Inward Report, while departing craft must present an Outward Report in order to obtain a Certifi cate of Clearance and be permitted to leave New Zealand. Lists of crew and passengers are part of the supporting documentation required with the Advance Notice of Arrival and the Inward and Outward Reports. The Act also enables the Chief Executive of the New Zealand Customs Service to prescribe the form and content of the Inward and Outward Reports, the particulars to be verifi ed by declaration in the reports, and the manner in which the reports must be delivered to the New Zealand Customs Service.

WHAT IS THE ELECTRONIC FORMAT FOR CREW AND PASSENGER LISTS?The crew and passenger lists are in a Microsoft Excel workbook, which can be downloaded from the Customs

COMPLETING ELECTRONIC CREW AND PASSENGER LISTS

website. This format was chosen because the software is widely used in many different countries. When completed, the lists are saved as CSV fi les and emailed to the New Zealand Customs Service.

The excel workbook contains fi ve worksheets, which are accessed by using the tabs at the bottom of the screen:

» Crew list

» Passenger list

» Country codes

» New Zealand port codes

» Frequently used overseas ports.

The last three sheets provide information to help you complete the crew list and the passenger list using valid codes for countries and ports.

Handy hint

How to complete crew and passenger lists

1. Open the Excel template workbook.

2. Complete the vessel information.

3. Complete the crew information.

4. Complete the passenger information.

5. Save the crew information worksheet as a CSV fi le.

6. Save the passenger information worksheet as a CSV fi le.

7. Email both CSV fi les to [email protected].

The crew list and the passenger list are constructed in the same basic format, although some of the information required to complete them is different. Both worksheets have comments embedded in them to provide you with advice on how to complete the various fi elds in the worksheet. If you position your cursor over any cell with a small red triangle in its top right-hand corner, a helpful comment will appear.

A few of the fi elds in the two worksheets are optional; ie, although the New Zealand Customs Service would like this information if it is available, the fi elds do not have to be completed. The fi eld name for each of these optional fi elds is blue. All other fi elds have a black fi eld name and must be completed.

The fi rst section of information to be completed in the crew list concerns the craft and its voyage. The fi rst section of the passenger list requires the same information, but it is linked to the crew list so that you do not have to type the information in twice — when you enter the information in the crew list, it will automatically appear in the passenger list too.

At the top of both the crew list and the passenger list worksheets is a box containing step-by-step instructions explaining how to save that worksheet in CSV format and submit it electronically to the New Zealand Customs Service.

Crew and passenger lists for arriving and departing craft must be submitted electronically to the New Zealand Customs Service. This fact sheet details the process for completing and submitting these lists.

SHIP AND CRAFT STORES This fact sheet will assist provedores and shipping agents with the requirements and processes around supplying and delivering stores to visiting ships and small craft that require provisioning prior to departing New Zealand.

WHAT ARE SHIPS STORES?Stores for ships and craft include:

» foodstuffs

» cleaning products

» alcohol and tobacco

» spares and service parts

» bunkers

» general provisions for crew and passengers.

WHEN DO I HAVE TO SUPPLY A CUSTOMS EXPORT DELIVERY ORDER?Where the stores are being taken into a Customs controlled area (a port), a Customs Export Delivery Order (CEDO) must be produced to the port authority or operator of the area, for goods loaded on-board ships and small craft. This includes:

» stores being zero-rated for goods and services tax (GST) purposes

» duty-free stores that are supplied from a Customs controlled area, licensed for this purpose — generally this will be alcohol and tobacco but may also include equipment, parts, and accessories for vessels

» stores subject to a drawback of duty

» stores that have been transhipped (see “Specific requirements” on page 2).

IS A CUSTOMS EXPORT DELIVERY ORDER REQUIRED FOR ALL GOODS?Not all goods require a CEDO. Those that do not are:

» crew and passengers’ baggage effects (excluding motor vehicles)

» goods of a type normally used for commercial or business purposes such as laptop computers, cell phones, and video and photographic equipment carried by a passenger leaving New Zealand

» routine vessel documentation, mail, schedules, plans and so on

» domestic stores being supplied inclusive of GST

» water supplied by the port authority

» bunkering fuel. Suppliers of bunkering fuel to commercial craft are required to lodge a periodic export entry. Port authorities will not require a CEDO for individual deliveries of bunkers.

HOW DO I UNDERTAKE CUSTOMS CLEARANCE? » Generally, consignments over

NZ$1,000 FOB (free on board) will require an export entry — see Fact sheet 6A.

» All goods subject to drawback will require an Export Entry — see Fact sheet 1.

» All goods supplied duty-free from a Customs controlled area, licensed for this purpose, will require an export entry — see Fact sheet 1.

» An Electronic Cargo Information (ECI) report must be lodged for all transhipment goods and goods under NZ$1,000 FOB — see Fact sheet 6B.

ARE THERE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR SMALL CRAFT THAT HAVE BEEN ENTERED ON A TEMPORARY IMPORT ENTRY?

Duty-free alcohol and tobaccoSmall craft entered on a Temporary Import Entry (TIE) are only eligible to load duty free alcohol and tobacco stores when they are about to depart (see ‘Specific Requirements’ on page 2).

FuelPleasure craft entered on a Temporary Import Entry (TIE) are eligible to load fuel without payment of goods and services tax (GST) when they are about to depart for a destination outside New Zealand fisheries waters. There are two options for obtaining a CEDO:

» the supplier may lodge an export entry or ECI report, or

» the craft operator can produce their purchase invoice and yellow copy of the TIE to Customs, who will issue a manual delivery order.

Issue date November 2012Ship and craft stores 2


Parts, accessories, and equipment supplied exclusive of GSTWhere parts, accessories and equipment are subject to a drawback claim or are supplied duty free from a Customs controlled area, an export entry is required.

For all other parts, accessories, and equipment supplied exclusive of GST, an Export Entry/ECI report will not be required. Customs will issue a manual delivery order on production of the purchase invoice and yellow copy of the TIE.

ARE THERE SPECIFIC TARIFF ITEMS FOR SHIPS STORES?Yes. The following tariff items have been issued specifically for provision of vessels:

» 9808.00.10 00B — Alcohol and tobacco products intended for passenger and crew consumption en route.

» 9808.00.20 00H — Other craft stores intended for passenger and crew consumption en route.

» 9808.00.90 00F — Other craft stores, including spare and service parts necessary to operate or maintain the craft.

WHAT EXPORTS ARE PROHIBITED OR RESTRICTED?Customs enforces a wide range of export prohibitions and restrictions on behalf of government departments and agencies that have policy responsibility for export controls on certain types of goods. For some types of goods, an export licence or permit may be required, with a code and number to be declared in a particular field within an export entry. For some other types of goods, exportation may be completely prohibited.

To ensure you understand how to comply with any prohibition or restriction requirements, this Fact Sheet should be read in conjunction with:

» Fact sheet 4 — Export Prohibitions and Restrictions. This gives a brief explanation of the prohibitions and restrictions Customs enforces at the border.

» Fact sheet 10 — Permits to Export — Alerts. This explains export entry requirements.

Fact sheets are available on the Customs website www.customs.govt.nz, at your local Customs office, or by calling 0800 428 786 (0800 4 CUSTOMS).

WHAT BUSINESS RECORDS AM I REQUIRED TO KEEP?The following records are required to be kept for a period of seven years:

(a) Shipping, import, export or transportation documents.

(b) Ordering and purchase documentation.

(c) Stock and sale documents.

(d) Banking and accounting information.

SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

Alcohol and tobaccoA requisition to supply alcohol and tobacco must be approved by Customs. Once approval is received, the export entry or ECI report can then be lodged. The number of the approved requisition is to be quoted in the goods description field on the Export Entry and in the Export ECI report.

The requisition to supply is to be made on Form NZCS 325, available on the Customs website www.customs.govt.nz.

Form NZCS 325 is to be emailed to [email protected] Approved requisitions will be signed, stamped, and numbered by Customs and returned.

With the exception of international passenger ships (cruise vessels), the amount of duty-free alcohol and tobacco that may be loaded is determined using a formula calculation, as follows:

Approved quota (detailed in table below)

x number of crew and passengers

x voyage duration

– duty free alcohol and tobacco stores already on board

The approved quota per crew member and passenger is:

Transhipment storesTranshipment stores are stores imported by air or sea, which have not cleared Customs control and are being loaded onto another vessel for subsequent export.

(i) Import and export from the same Customs controlled area

Where stores are imported and exported from the same Customs controlled area, the only transaction required is the lodgement of the ECI Report.

Please note there is one exception to this. There is no requirement for an ECI Report for full containers (FCLs) where:

› the import bill of lading number is the same as the export bill of lading

› there is no unpack/repack

› the transhipment details were captured in the Inward Cargo Report.

Where these conditions are met, the electronic Customs response message for the Inward Cargo Report may be used as the Customs clearance number to authorise loading for export.

(ii) Movement between Customs controlled areas

Where the stores are held in a Customs controlled area and need to be moved to another Customs controlled area in order to be loaded onto a vessel, there are two mechanisms for moving the stores:

› a transhipment is used to move stores between Customs controlled areas in different regions, for example, Auckland to Tauranga.

› a Customs Permit to Remove is used to move goods within a region.

Where the licensee of the Customs controlled area holding the goods at time of import permits paperless transhipment between regions, the stores may be moved without lodging any documentation with Customs. Where paperless transhipment is not permissible, a manual transhipment entry will be required.

In all instances where transhipment or a Customs Permit to Remove is used, an ECI Report is required in order to generate a Customs Export Delivery Order (CEDO) to permit the stores to be loaded onto the vessel.

Notes:

» If the value of the transhipment stores exceeds NZ$1,000, the value on the ECI report is to be shown as NZ$999.

» A list of Customs Controlled Areas, which also indicates those that operate under the paperless transhipment scheme, is available on the Customs website www.customs.govt.nz.

If you are unfamiliar with export entries and ECI reports, or lodge this documentation infrequently, Customs suggests you engage the services of a freight forwarder or customs broker to lodge clearances on your behalf.

BORDER CASH REPORTAnti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009, sections 68 to 71

MOVEMENT OF CASH INTO OR OUT OF NEW ZEALAND, OR RECEIPT OF CASH FROM OUTSIDE NEW ZEALAND

Who is required by New Zealand law to give a cash report? Sections 68 to 71 of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009 (“the Act”) require a report in respect of the movement of the cash (“a cash report”) to be given in writing in this prescribed form— by a person moving (bringing accompanied) cash into, or moving (taking accompanied or sending unaccompanied)

cash out of, New Zealand, if— o the total amount of the cash (as determined under section 7 of the Act, if not denominated in New Zealand

currency) is NZ$10,000 or more; ando the movement of the cash is not exempted under the Act or regulations (if any); and

by a person who is to receive in New Zealand unaccompanied cash moved (sent) to the person (either by the person or by another person) from outside New Zealand, if—o the total amount of the cash (as determined under section 7 of the Act, if not denominated in New Zealand

currency) is NZ$10,000 or more; ando the movement of the cash is not exempted under the Act or regulations (if any).

Who must complete report if person required to give it (“A”) is incapable of doing so? If a person (“A”) required to give a cash report is (for example, because of minority or disability) incapable of completing it, then it must be completed on A’s behalf by a person (“B”) authorised to act for A or responsible for A’s care or property.

When and to whom must report be given? For accompanied cash that a person is bringing into or taking out of New Zealand, the report must be provided to a Customs officer at the same time as section 103 (obligations on persons arriving in New Zealand) or section 119 (obligations of persons leaving New Zealand) of the Immigration Act 2009 is complied with. For unaccompanied cash that a person is sending out of New Zealand, the report must be provided to a Customs officer before the cash leaves New Zealand. For unaccompanied cash sent from outside New Zealand, the report must be provided to a Customs officer before (or, under section 109 of the Act, as soon as practicable after) it is received in New Zealand.

Meaning of “cash” and other key terms “Cash”, as defined by section 5 of the Act, means physical currency, bearer-negotiable instruments (“BNIs”), or both.A bearer-negotiable instrument (“BNI”), as defined by section 5 of the Act, means— a bill of exchange; or a cheque; or a promissory note; or a bearer bond; or a traveller’s cheque; or a money order, postal order, or similar order; or any other instrument prescribed by regulations under the Act.

A “person”, in this report, includes a corporation sole, a body corporate, and an unincorporated body of persons.

OFFENCES, PENALTIES, FORFEITURE, AND SEIZUREOffencesSections 106 to 112 of the Act provide for offences and penalties relating to cross-border transportation of cash. For example, a person commits an offence— under section 106 or 107 of the Act if the person fails, without reasonable excuse, to make or cause to be made

a cash report concerning cash of NZ$10,000 or more (or foreign equivalent) that the person has moved into or out of New Zealand, or has received in New Zealand after it was sent from overseas, and the person does not prove the defence (as to compliance as soon as practicable) under section 109 of the Act; and

under section 110 of the Act if, without reasonable excuse, the person makes or causes to be made a cash report knowing it is false or misleading in any material respect; and

under section 111 of the Act if the person wilfully obstructs or, without reasonable excuse, the person fails to answer questions from, a Customs officer who is exercising powers or carrying out duties under the Act.

PenaltiesUnder section 112 of the Act, a person who commits any of those offences is liable to the following penalties: in the case of an individual, a term of imprisonment of not more than 3 months, a fine up to $10,000, or both: in the case of a body corporate, a fine of up to $50,000.

Forfeiture and seizure False or misleading reporting or non-reporting of cash may result in its forfeiture and seizure because, if it is moved in breach of the Act, it is a prohibited import or export under the Customs and Excise Act 1996.

Cruise Ship Arrival Information

This information is to help clarify the requirements for MPI clearance into New Zealand and at subsequent New Zealand ports. Once aboard, MPI inspectors will meet with the ship’s Chief Purser or representative to plan the clearance of passengers, crew and vessel for New Zealand entry.

Vessel Clearance Documents required by MPI The following documents should be sent to MPI at the first port of arrival in New Zealand (contacts in front of folder) 48 hours before arrival.

• Master’s Declaration (for declaring meat provisions and animals, an appended list is acceptable) • Ballast Water Report Form • List of Fresh Produce and any documented quality systems around fresh produce • Voyage memo for past two years • List of any goods to be landed in New Zealand • Permits (where granted well in advance of arrival) for any animals aboard. Note: In general no

animals will be permitted to come ashore in New Zealand or to remain aboard a vessel in New Zealand waters. Special circumstances may apply for keeping an animal on board where prior application has been made to MPI and the person in charge has agreed to comply with strict conditions set. Generally cats and dogs are the animals granted such an exemption.

MPI Inspectors will need to:

• Meet with the Captain and review documentation • Inspect galleys and all provision areas • Inspect fresh produce and handling areas • Examine any permitted animals • Assess and inspect vessel refuse system • Inspect all dunnage, wood packing, pallets and timber • Be advised of any waste, dunnage, and stores issues. • Inspect bicycles and sports gear for landing or use in New Zealand • Inspect any crew items for landing in New Zealand

New Zealand biosecurity regulations prohibit the removal of ship’s stores from the vessel. Items that cannot be taken off the ship include:

• Fresh fruit and vegetables • Meat of any kind • Prepared meals including sandwiches • Dairy products • Any other food items • Flowers, seeds or plants

You have a role in protecting New Zealand’s unique marine environment – don’t spread damaging marine pests in biofouling.

All vessel owners are encouraged to maintain hulls to minimise biofouling, particularly when entering areas of high marine values such as Fiordland and the Sub-Antarctic and Kermadec Islands.

All vessel operators planning to visit the Fiordland marine area should keep Fiordland as beautiful below water as it is above.

NOTICE TO OPERATORS AND MASTERS OF CRUISE VESSELS AND YACHTS

Fiordland’s marine environment is an international treasure with unique but fragile marine ecosystems. It is vital this area is protected from the threat posed by introduced marine life. When marine species establish outside of their native locations, some can cause irreversible damage in the new area.

A concerted effort by government agencies and stakeholders is underway to clear the marine pest seaweed Undaria from a remote area of Fiordland. For this reason alone, it is vital you ensure your vessels’ hull and niche areas are “clean” and free of marine pests prior to entering these pristine waters.

Please take some simple precautions to ensure your vessel hulls and equipment are free of biofouling organisms, including:

1. Keeping your vessel’s hull and marine equipment clean and free of fouling.

2. Making sure you have a good, thorough and functioning antifoul coating.

3. Cleaning and air-drying any marine equipment and boats to be used in Fiordland waters e.g. ropes, pots, fishing gear, kayaks and tenders.

For further information on the Fiordland programme and marine biosecurity, visit: http://www.biosecurity.govt.nz/fiordland

OVERSEAS VESSELS SHOULD AVOID BRINGING HARMFUL EXOTIC MARINE SPECIES INTO NEW ZEALANDThe Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) requests that all vessels arriving in New Zealand have a hull that has minimal biofouling on the open hull surface and in niche areas. MPI advises that it is now monitoring the hull management of visiting vessels through questions asked on the Advance Notice of Arrival documentation.

Mandatory requirements for minimal levels of biofouling on arrival (in the form of a Border Standard for Biofouling) will be enforced in four years time following a lead-in period when compliance with this new rule is encouraged but voluntary. The new requirements will be released soon and will be available here: www.biosecurity.govt.nz/enter/ships.

A vessel’s biofouling management system may be taken into account in granting approval to ply the coast and in particular to visit places that have high ecological value. These places are often visited by cruise vessels and yachts or recreational vessels when they visit New Zealand.

HAVE YOU READ THE FIORDLAND USER GUIDE?

The fully waterproof guide is a “one-stop shop” publication containing all of the main marine regulations plus practical and interesting information about the history, the environment and the establishment of the Fiordland Marine Area to help you get the most out of your visit.

VISITING THE SUB-ANTARCTIC OR KERMADEC ISLANDS? – OVERSEAS OR DOMESTIC VESSELSYou should be aware that the Department of Conservation is enforcing a new regional coastal plan for these areas. The plan’s rules require vessels to undergo hull inspections in preparation for entry closer than 1000 metres to the islands. For full information on what is required prior to your visit please refer to www.doc.govt.nz/offshoreislandsrcp
