The Functions of Norfolk Island Customs
Norfolk Island has regular flights to and from New Zealand and Australia. Aircraft carrying up to 130 passengers call at Norfolk Island bringing people travelling to Norfolk Island for any number of reasons. The bulk of our travellers are tourists, coming to Norfolk Island to shop, take part in sporting events or to just sit back and relax. Approximately 40,000 or more visitors visit Norfolk Island each year. (Some of these visitors are regulars).
Whenever you travel to any overseas destination the first person you will be most likely to come in contact with will be a Customs Officer. If you travel to Norfolk Island we will be here to meet you too. Passengers arriving at Norfolk Island are required to clear Customs, before entry is permitted onto the island.
The aim of Customs is to provide border control, to minimise the risk of illicit imports, to collect revenue on dutiable goods, and to enforce Customs legislation, whilst maintaining the balance of a friendly and professional service.
Customs Officers work very closely with Norfolk Island Health and Quarantine, Norfolk Island Immigration and Norfolk Island Police. These departments are an essential part of border control.
Norfolk Island maintains a link with Australian Customs, Australian Coastwatch, Oceania Customs Organisation (OCO), New Zealand Customs, as well as other organisations.
