Marking 170 years of Customs protecting New Zealand’s borders, this year’s International Customs Day is about recognising partnerships between Customs and business, and includes interesting, lively, and educational activities for the whole family including:
• a special focus on counterfeit goods including how to tell the real from the fake
• the kinds of unusual plants and animals that smugglers attempt to trade illegally
• detector dog demonstrations
• x-ray machine displays
• weapons seized at the border
• children's colouring-in competition
• exhibits showing the methods drug smugglers use to try and beat border security.
International Customs Day is free to attend and part of the Auckland Anniversary Weekend celebrations.
