New Zealand's border
Our border is not just at airports. It’s everywhere people or goods could enter our country, including:
- our sea ports
- coastlines
- international freight arrival points.
Cross-border crime can occur in any of these places. The signs can be visible within your community or workplace.
How you can help
You can help protect New Zealand by reporting unusual activity in:
- your community
- around our coast
- your workplace, if it’s within a supply chain business.
Your tip can make a difference
One of the country’s largest drug seizures was from a private vessel abandoned at Ninety-Mile Beach as a result of suspicious activity reported by locals.
