Kia ora John Wilson FYI 28451,
 
On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of 19/09/2024 requesting, under the Official
Information Act 1982, the following:
The recent terror attacks by Israel in Lebanon involving consumer
electronic goods raise significant concerns about the safety of items
coming from, transiting through, or associated with the Israeli state.
Given these circumstances, I would like to inquire about the following:

1. What risk assessments has MBIE conducted regarding the safety of
imported goods from Israel and those potentially affected by Israeli
interference in supply chains?

2. How does MBIE monitor and evaluate the safety of products entering New
Zealand that Israeli actions may have impacted?

3. Is MBIE considering notifying consumers about potential safety risks
associated with products that Israel may have influenced or interfered
with?

4. Is MBIE collaborating with international agencies to assess the safety
of imported goods and supply chains that may have been affected by Israeli
actions?
 
We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible, and no
later than 17/10/2024, being 20 working days after the day your request
was received. If we are unable to respond to your request by then, we will
notify you of an extension of that timeframe. If you have any enquiries
regarding your request feel free to contact us via email to
[1][MBIE request email].
