77: Imported goods to be dealt with according to entry

You could also call this:

"Follow the rules when bringing goods into New Zealand"

Illustration for Customs and Excise Act 2018

When you bring goods into New Zealand and an entry has been made and passed for them, you must deal with those goods right away according to the entry and the rules in the Customs and Excise Act 2018 that apply to those goods. You can find more information about how this rule has changed over time by looking at s 41 of an earlier law. This means you need to follow what the entry says and what the Act says about goods like yours.
