- New Zealand Customs focuses on compliance for importers with post-importation adjustments.
- The Provisional Values Scheme (PVS) allows importers to use reasonable estimates for customs value.
- Importers must reconcile provisional estimates with final amounts to adjust duties.
- Overpayments can be refunded, and underpayments do not incur penalties or interest.
- Automatic qualification for PVS is based on transfer pricing, license and royalties, or further proceeds criteria.
- Importers must notify Customs before using provisional values.
- PVS benefits include importing at provisional amounts and reconciling within 12 months without interest on underpayments.
- Without PVS, significant variations require voluntary disclosure to Customs.
