IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The purpose of this certificate is to act as a means of identifying goods that accompany a person travelling overseas with
the intention that the goods will be re-imported into New Zealand by that same person. It is not designed as a means of
facilitating the entry of the goods into another country.
This certificate, together with the goods, must be presented to Customs before they are exported. On their return to New
Zealand, the goods identified by this certificate will be admitted free of duty (under section 109 of the Customs and Excise
Act 1996) provided the unaltered certificate is available for presentation to Customs.

This form can only be used for goods that have readily identifiable features such as model, serial number, or other
distinguishing mark.
It can be used for both personal and commercial goods. Where commercial goods are being taken abroad, an export
entry is required if the value of the goods exceeds NZ$1,000, unless the goods fall into a category exempt from the
requirement of an export entry pursuant to regulation 29 of the Customs and Excise Regulations 1996.
Goods qualifying for duty free admission under the provisions of section 109 of the Customs and Excise Act 1996, are
also eligible for GST free admission provided that the importer is the same person as the person who exported them
from New Zealand if, at the time of their export from New Zealand, those goods were not a supply of goods charged
with tax at the rate of zero percent pursuant to section 11 of the Goods and Services Tax Act 1985.
