According to the New Zealand Animal Products Act of 1999, everything that takes dairy away from New Zealand is considered output, including access to online shopping and friends and relatives, and only exporters registered with the Ministry of Primary industry are eligible to export dairy products including infant formula. This means that New Zealand infant formula, other than agency imports, is in the range of the crackdown, including online purchasing. In recent years, with the booming of the online shopping industry and the development of modern logistics industry, more and more New Zealand infant formula is shipped to the international consumer market including China, and the total value has exceeded 150 million New Zealand dollars (about 750 million RMB) and is still growing rapidly. The infant formula, which was exported through this route, has not been regulated by the export quarantine of the New Zealand Ministry of Primary industry, but at the same time as interfering with the normal dairy trade, it has also brought about the risk of quarantine hygiene and quality safety. The New Zealand Ministry of Primary Industry and New Zealand customs also announced that companies and individuals illegally exporting infant formula would be punished with a maximum of NZ $300,000 and NZ $50,000 and, where appropriate, whether they would be prosecuted. AQSIQ has warned domestic consumers to choose the New Zealand formula by mail to avoid unnecessary losses.
