    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,
