Aangescherpte douanecontrole Nieuw-Zeeland
Door Travelhome op 9 oktober 2018
Per 1 oktober kan de Nieuw-Zeelandse douane reizigers bij binnenkomst vragen een elektronische apparaat te ontgrendelen of code voor het openen te geven. Dit is alleen mogelijk indien er een redelijk vermoeden is dat de reiziger betrokken kan zijn bij criminele activiteiten. Weigering kan leiden tot een boete van NZ$5000,-. Meer informatie over de douaneregels kun je lezen op de website van de Nieuw-Zeelandse douane.

Items such as mobile phones, iPads, Android tablets, hard drives, laptops, and digital cameras may be examined. An officer can ask for your password or ask you to enter it. We do not keep your password or alter your personal data.
Before an officer can search an e-device they must be able to point to facts or circumstances that provide a basis for suspecting that the person in possession of the device is involved in criminal offending.
To make a more invasive search (detain and forensically examine a device) the threshold is reasonable cause to believe – which is a higher threshold. An officer must have a reasonable belief the device contains evidence of criminal offending.
If we need to detain your device for further examination, an officer will explain this process to you.
