Subject: Official Information request - Please confirm the exact amount of
the Customs Duty penalty applied to Chevron in 2009 which was waived as a
result of a "bank error" advised by JP Morgan Chase Bank
 
Dear New Zealand Customs Service,
 
My name is Rob Lewis, I was the CEO of JP Morgan New Zealand from 2008 -
2010.
 
I am aware that Chevron missed a customs duty payment of some $38,000,000
in mid 2009 which was caused by an error at the bank.
 
I recall that New Zealand Customs Service applied a 5% penalty to the
payment. The amount of the 5% penalty was approximately $1,900,000.00,
which New Zealand Customs Service graciously waived after a confirmation
that it was an error by JP Morgan Chase Bank which had caused the late
payment.
 
Can you please confirm the exact amount of the penalty? This is relevant
to High Court proceedings in New Zealand between myself and JP Morgan.
 
Yours faithfully,
 
Rob Lewis
