Dear Felix Lee
Thank you for your email to the NZ Customs of 27 July 2023, requesting information relating

transferred from NZ Customs to the Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI).
MPI wil not be able to respond within the timeframe set out in the Of icial Information Act
1982 (OIA) in accordance with section 15A(1)(b) as consultations necessary to make a

the normal 20 working-day time limit.
MPI wil reply to your request by no later than 18 September 2023, earlier if possible.
Should you have any concerns with this extension, I would encourage you to raise these with
the Ministry for Primary Industries at
[email address]. Alternatively, you
are advised of your right to also raise any concerns with the Office of the Ombudsman.
