What this pack does

Scope, citations, and the workflows that come with it.

Pīkau handles the paperwork at the border: Trade Single Window lodgements, tariff classification reviews against the Working Tariff Document, MPI biosecurity declarations, and the dangerous-goods chain of custody from origin to release.

Every entry cites the Customs and Excise Act 2018, the relevant Import Health Standard, and the Land Transport Rule for DG. Brokers see the working they expect; auditors see the trail months later. Reclassification rework drops to zero on the lines assembl runs.

Pīkau is live alongside Waihanga. Importers, exporters, and customs brokers can run a Pilot Sprint on a single recurring line and have an audit-clean record by Friday.

Ready-to-run assistants

10 practical assistants, each with a clear job.

Pick the task you need: prepare a draft, check the evidence, review the rules, or package the record. The internal agent names stay visible, but the work comes first.
