93: Time of exportation

You could also call this:

"When goods leave New Zealand to go overseas, this is called the time of exportation."

Illustration for Customs and Excise Act 2018

When you export goods from New Zealand, the time of exportation is important. You need to know that goods are treated as exported when the craft they are on leaves the last Customs place in New Zealand. This is the point when the craft is heading to a place outside New Zealand.

This rule has some exceptions, which are explained in sections 89(2) and 176(2). You can find more information about these exceptions by looking at sections 89(2) and 176(2). These sections will help you understand when the time of exportation might be different.
