MINISTER’S FOREWORDThe earthquakes in Japan and our own city, Christchurch, have sharpened the focus on a safe and secureNew Zealand, and the Government’s aim to build a brighter future for New Zealand.Customs facilitates tradeand travel, supportsNew Zealand’s access tooverseas markets, andpromotes secure andefficient trade.These broader aims are supportedby the Government’s two key goalsfor 2011 to:»»build the foundations for a strongereconomybuild better results from the publicservices New Zealanders rely on.Customs’ services and significantinfrastructure provide critical supportto New Zealand’s trade, tourism,and related safety and security; whilecollecting 15 percent of Crownrevenue. Customs facilitates trade andtravel, supports New Zealand’s accessto overseas markets, and promotessecure and efficient trade.To help the Government achieve itsgoals, I have agreed three priorities forCustoms from 2011/12, as follows:Streamlining and simplifyingtrade facilitation, and promotingsecure and efficient trade,particularly with Australia andChina aims to promote secure andefficient international supply chains,particularly to support New Zealandexporters. The aim is to increasebusiness confidence at the borderby delivering more reliable andpredictable border clearance processesfor New Zealand trade throughcustoms in New Zealand and overseas.Future work will enhance the progressalready made with Australia and China.The focus on developing andimplementing Stage 1 of the JointBorder Management System–TradeSingle Window (JBMS–TSW) with theMinistry of Agriculture and Forestrywill support this priority and Customs’activities. The TSW will make it easierfor New Zealand traders to completeborder requirements by providing asingle access point to border agencies.More efficient, streamlined, andsecure passenger facilitation,particularly for trans-Tasmanand Asia-Pacific travel is Customs’response to the expected increase intravel, particularly from Australia andthe Asia-Pacific. It aims to expand theprogramme for automated passengerclearance processes for trans-Tasmantravel; and provide more streamlinedand secure travel facilitation forarrivals from Australia, the Asia-Pacific, and other countries throughan improved approach to managingborder risks to New Zealand.Increase disruption of supply anddismantle criminal networks,particularly for illicit drugs andpeople smuggling, and maintainresponsiveness as risks changereflects this Government’s ongoingcommitment to disrupt the supplyof methamphetamine or ‘P’, and itsprecursors, the chemicals used to make‘P’. Last year Customs seized nearlya tonne of precursors. The aim is tocontinue targeted activity to disruptthe supply of ‘P’; and a focus ondisrupting criminal networks throughan improved investigations approach,made possible by implementing newadvanced technology.This Statement of Intent shows howCustoms intends to progress thesepriorities in the next three years, andits intended value to the Governmentand New Zealand’s trade and travel.2 Statement of Intent 2011–2014
