419: Decision by chief executive about person boarding craft for purpose of travelling to New Zealand
or “Chief executive's decision on boarding for travel to New Zealand continues under new Act”
You could also call this:

“Information required from commercial transport operators before arriving in New Zealand”

If you run a commercial vehicle or vessel, you might need to give information to the government before you arrive in New Zealand. If the government asked you for this information before the new law started, you still need to give them the information within 24 hours, just like the old law said. This is true even though the old law isn’t used anymore. The government can also ask you for information under the new law if your vehicle or vessel arrives after the new law started. This helps the government know who is coming into the country.
