Arrival, customs and biosecurity
On arrival
A yacht flies the yellow flag from the territorial waters until the formalities are done. Port Moselle asks for the yacht name and length overall on VHF 67. (SODEMO, Douane NC.)
Customs and temporary admission
A yacht for private use that is registered outside New Caledonia can stay under temporary admission for up to 12 months. Yachts for commercial use have special conditions. (Douane NC.)
Biosecurity
SIVAP agents inspect the yacht on arrival. An arrival form is required, and food and organic waste stay on board until the inspection. (DAVAR.)
