The new Infringement Notice regime covers a total of 70 offences, and also includes failure to declare tobacco or alcohol over the duty-free limit, or even using a mobile phone in restricted airport or cruise terminal areas. NZ Customs says the new arrangement covers “strict liability offences,” meaning travellers will have “committed an offence even though you had no intention of doing so and there is no criminal conviction”. The non-compliant activity includes refusing or failing to answer questions from a Customs Officer about documents, records or travel details, importing prohibited goods, or “where the contents of a parcel addressed to you do not match the description on the parcel declaration”.
