Dear New Zealand Customs Service,

I am seeking the monthly volume data of imports and exports of electric bikes, electric scooters and other 'personal electric transport devices' including hover boards, electric skateboards etc.

I'd like the data in both $ value and total units on a monthly basis for the last 5 years.

If you're not able to provide this data, can you please let me know the correct organisation that can provide this data.
