This notice is presented for archival purposes only. It may contain information that is no longer correct or relevant in the current year. Information within this notice was correct on the date it was issued.

Customs accepted at the time of that reminder notice, that under the COVID-19 environment there were a number of vessels that were unable to comply. Customs took this into consideration and the date was extended for a further twelve (12) months.

Final date for export of your vessel is 30 June 2023.

Yacht owners must continue to abide by the conditions set out in their C4G. Any breach of these conditions will invalidate the C4G and therefore this further extension.

If you are intending to sell your vessel while it is under a C4G/TIE, permission must first be given by NZCS. If you have any questions or require clarification please email: service.delivery@customs.govt.nz.

If you intend on leaving New Zealand and have further questions regarding the departure process, visit the Recreational vessels, yachts and small craft webpage.
