Customs compliance
Review and guidance on tariff classification, valuation, entry requirements, supporting evidence and TSW-related processes.
Customs & MPI biosecurity consultancy
Clearer thinking at the New Zealand border.
Experienced, practical support for importers who need to understand a Customs or MPI biosecurity issue, test the reasoning behind it, and decide what to do next.
Why Border Clarity
Complex rules need clear thinking.
The difficulty is often not finding another checklist—it is working out what the real question is, which requirements matter, and where further specialist input may be needed.
Border Clarity draws on long experience in customs brokerage, border compliance, training and legislative interpretation to help New Zealand importers examine practical problems and make better-informed decisions.
Diagnose before you repair.
Understand the product, evidence and commercial pathway before deciding on the next step.

Services
Focused help where the border pathway is unclear.
Advice can be a discrete independent review, a practical piece of compliance work, or training that strengthens capability inside your business.
MPI biosecurity processes
Practical help understanding import requirements, documentation, responsibilities and internal biosecurity awareness.
Independent review
A fresh look at an existing position: what has been assumed, what the evidence supports, and what questions remain unresolved.
Procedures & training
Clear SOPs, focused workshops and practical training shaped around the people and border tasks in your business.
A clear scope matters. Border Clarity does not claim to replace legal, scientific, ACVM, EPA or other specialist advice. Where a question falls outside Peter's experience, that will be made clear and the next requirement can be defined before further work is commissioned.
A proportionate approach
Start with the real question.
1. Initial conversationA short discussion to understand the product, the commercial situation and what is getting in the way.
2. Define the workDetailed information is requested only where needed. You receive a clear scope, outcome and basis for the advice.
3. Resolve and strengthenAddress the immediate issue and, where useful, improve the process or capability that sits behind it.
Who I work with
For importers who value clear, direct advice.
Border Clarity is intended for New Zealand importers, distributors, brokers and border-service businesses that need:
- a clearer understanding of a Customs or MPI process
- an independent second look at an existing position
- better procedures, documentation or internal capability
- help defining the issue before engaging another specialist
Start simply
Talk through the issue before commissioning the work.
The first step is a focused conversation. If further work would be useful, you will know what information is needed, what the scope is, and what outcome to expect.
