Departure from New Zealand

To ensure that there is no delay in your departure you are requested to give the New Zealand Customs Service 72 hours prior notice. At that time you will be provided with a Departure of Yachts and Small Craft Information Pack, which contains the following documents for completion:

• Departure cards
• Outward report
• Advance Information Sheet

At the agreed time of departure a Customs Officer will attend and complete Customs and Immigration formalities. The Master will then be issued a certificate of clearance.

Once these formalities are completed, a vessel will be expected to leave the country within a reasonable time. If it is delayed for any reason, then the Master should contact the nearest Customs Officer to explain the situation.
