Explanatory note
This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.
These regulations, which come into force on 1 January 2023, amend the Customs and Excise Regulations 1996, which are in force under the Customs and Excise Act 2018.
These regulations update product-specific rules of origin relating to parties to the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (the RCEP). The relevant product-specific rules of origin need updating to reflect the technical changes to the product-specific rules as agreed between New Zealand and its trading partners, taking account of the 1 January 2022 updates to the International Convention on the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System.
These regulations incorporate by reference, under section 412 of the Customs and Excise Act 2018, updated rules set out in a document that is published by the chief executive of the New Zealand Customs Service on the Customs’ website. Access to the provisions incorporated by reference is also facilitated by the chief executive of the New Zealand Customs Service in the other ways required by Schedule 2 of the Legislation Act 2019.
Date of notification in Gazette: 3 November 2022.
These regulations are administered by the New Zealand Customs Service.
