Division 4D - Exportation of goods to New Zealand  

SECTION 126AJD   POWER TO ASK QUESTIONS  

126AJD(1)   Power to ask questions  

An authorised officer may require a person who is the exporter, the principal manufacturer or a producer of goods that:

(a) are exported to New Zealand; and

(b) are claimed to be Australian originating goods for the purpose of obtaining a preferential tariff in New Zealand;

Note:

Failing to answer a question when required to do so by an officer may be an offence: see section 243SA. However, a person does not have to answer a question if doing so would tend to incriminate the person: see section 243SC.

126AJD(2)   Disclosing answers to New Zealand customs official  

An authorised officer may, for the purpose of verifying a claim for a preferential tariff in New Zealand, disclose any answers to such questions to a New Zealand customs official.
