Who it applies to, exceptions and limits (full text)
Direction: persons (passengers and crew) arriving in Kiribati on a craft (ship or aircraft). Section 57 of the Customs Act 2019: a person arriving in Kiribati on craft must, immediately after they arrive, provide a customs officer with the required information necessary to permit the officer to identify who they are and the types of goods the person is importing into Kiribati; the captured section text does not itself distinguish whether the craft came from outside or inside Kiribati. The Act does not prescribe whether the section 57 information is given on a paper form, orally, or electronically; the obligation's channel is on-arrival and its medium is unconfirmed (see KI-form-medium-unconfirmed). This entry covers only the s 57 information obligation; enforcement, seizure and baggage-entry provisions elsewhere in the Act are not parts of it.
