As one of New Zealand's oldest government agencies, the New Zealand Customs Service plays a critical role in border security, trade facilitation, and revenue collection. Its mission is to protect and promote New Zealand across the border through diligent enforcement, collecting duties and taxes on behalf of the government, and ensuring that legitimate trade and travel can flow smoothly and efficiently. The service works to prevent the entry of illegal goods, such as drugs and weapons, while also supporting New Zealand's economic prosperity.
