209: Power of Commissioner to access arrival or departure information

You could also call this:

“The Commissioner can check when people enter or leave New Zealand”

The Commissioner can look at information about when people arrive in or leave New Zealand. This information is kept by the New Zealand Customs Service. The Commissioner is allowed to do this because of a rule in another law called the Customs and Excise Act 2018. The Commissioner can only use this information for the reasons that are explained in that other law.
