You could also call this:

“Rules for small vehicles coming into New Zealand from other countries”

This part of the law is about light vehicles that are brought into New Zealand from other countries. It means that when you or someone else brings a small car, van, or truck into New Zealand from overseas, this set of rules will apply to that vehicle. These rules are part of something called the ‘Clean vehicle standard’, which is included in a bigger law called the Land Transport Act 1998.
