Strategic Purpose Statement |
This qualification is primarily for those employed by the New Zealand Customs Service as Senior Customs Officers in New Zealand border management; however Customs Officers who are able to demonstrate an equivalent level of knowledge and skill to Senior Customs Officers are able to undertake the qualification also.
The core competencies of the qualification recognise the skills, knowledge, and competence expected of all Senior Customs Officers. These include demonstrating knowledge of legislative powers, Customs goods entries, ethics in the New Zealand State sector and the ability to conduct recorded interviews and calculating revenue payable on goods. This qualification also includes three strands - Customs General, Trade Assurance and Investigations and Response. These strands are included to acknowledge the skills and competencies required by the different roles that Senior Customs Officers play in the New Zealand Customs Service. The Customs General strand allows for the recognition of the diverse range of skills relevant to border management and customs and excise activities applicable to the New Zealand Customs Service. These include conducting personal searches, baggage examinations, and patrols as well as demonstrating knowledge of immigration processing, crafts and goods crossing the border, goods inspection and revenue payments. Holders of the Trade Assurance strand are able to demonstrate knowledge of audit programmes and methodologies, excisable goods and duty assessments, compliance and legislative requirements and transaction methods to value goods. They are also able to audit for Customs compliance and use the transaction method to value goods. Holders of the Investigations and Response strand are able to apply a range of skills, including understanding the Customs Investigations business unit and its investigative processes, as well as the operational and legal issues related to search warrants. They are also able to collect and preserve exhibits, and conduct and record a video interview as part of an investigation. The elective section of the Investigations and Response strand is designed to provide a choice of standards to cover the diverse range of investigative work undertaken by the New Zealand Customs Service. It is recommended that this Level 4 certificate be undertaken following completion of the National Certificate in Border Management (Customs) (Level 3) [Ref: 1591]. |
