IMPORTED TV SETS
‘Misunderstood Regulations’ (N Z Press Association) AUCKLAND, Nov. 5. A Customs Department official at Whenuapai today refuted allegations that people returning from overseas were having imported television sets confiscated. He was replying to complaints from passengers returning from Fiji, who claimed the customs officers at Whenuapai were telling them sets brought back from overseas could not enter New Zealand. The passengers had obviously misunderstood the regulations, he added. To qualify as duty-free, television sets and other goods had to be in the person’s possession as he left the aircraft A practice was arising where visitors from overseas were ordering television sets and having them forwarded. Thus, these were subject to import licensing and duty.
