New Zealand's Customs (Levies and Other Matters) Amendment Bill, aiming to modernize and improve the fairness of revenue collection on goods, passed its first reading in Parliament. Introduced by Customs Minister Casey Costello, the bill clarifies fee collection processes, introduces a levy regime for service costs, and makes GST refunds more accessible. It does not change or increase existing charges. The bill will now be reviewed by a select committee.
