Biosecurity Act 1993

Importation of risk goods - Clearance of risk goods

26: Clearances by inspectors

You could also call this:

"Inspectors check goods before they can come into New Zealand"

When you want to bring goods into New Zealand, an inspector checks them first. The inspector must follow the rules in section 27 and section 28 of the Biosecurity Act 1993. If the goods do not meet these rules, the inspector cannot give clearance for them to enter New Zealand.

If the inspector is satisfied that the goods meet the rules in section 27, they can give clearance for the goods to enter New Zealand. The inspector must make sure the goods do not break the rules in section 28. You can read more about these rules in section 27 and section 28 to understand what the inspector is checking for.
