Hon MEKA WHAITIRI: As a member of the Secure Exports Scheme, New Zealand exporters benefit from less delay at international borders, reduced fees and costs, and support when there is trade disruption. They can also benefit from recognition by customers and Government agencies as a secure, trusted trader. Major markets such as China and the United States provide border clearance benefits to members. The New Zealand Institute of Economic Research has assessed that the international recognition of the scheme provides annual benefits of US$310 million in GDP to the New Zealand economy.
