Answer

I refer the Member to the attached appendix, which set out Customs’ advertising expenditure and media monitoring expenditure, excluding GST, since the 2021/22 financial year, broken down by financial year. The advertising expenditure figures include costs associated with the ongoing provision of information for travellers using the New Zealand Traveller Declaration.
