Résumé

This Order is made under the Imports and Exports (Restrictions) Act 1988. The Order prohibits the importation into New Zealand of goods that contain asbestos unless the importation is authorised by a permit. The prohibition does not apply to products that are being transhipped through New Zealand and remain subject to the control of the Customs. The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) is responsible for granting permits, which it may do only if it is satisfied of the matters set out in clause 5(2). The order allows the EPA to impose conditions on permits and provides for the payment of application and assessment fees. The Act also contains provisions relating to permits, including in relation to applying for and revoking permits.
