In response to your request for information below, I can advise as follows.

The Customs flag should be rectangular in shape and its length should be two times its width translating into an aspect ratio of 2:1.

The Customs flag is 900mm x 450mm in size.

Dear Mr Dickey,

Thanks for your reply. But how about the font, size and location of the words “NZ Customs Service”. Are they unspecified?

Yours sincerely,

Dear Mr Dickey,

Can you confirm that image is official? Are your flags manufactured according to that image. Are there other authorities I can ask about the Customs flag?

Yours sincerely,
