Over the last 170 years Customs has played a vital role in securing our borders and keeping New Zealand, and New Zealanders safe.

Customs also plays a significant role in New Zealand's global trade – making sure goods that enter New Zealand do so in accordance with our laws and that our exports do not pose a threat to other countries.
