A cooperation agreement with the Kingdom of the Netherlands comes into effect from Sunday 1 October, marking a new chapter in collaboration with a key European partner.
The Customs Mutual Administrative Assistance Agreement (CMAA) was signed by officials from both governments in Wellington on 10 March 2022.
The agreement allows the New Zealand Customs Service and Dutch Customs Administration to share important information relating to trade and drug smuggling, enhancing the ability of each agency to combat transnational crime, strengthen supply chain security and support the flow of trade.
