New Zealand has reported that although it still sees a large amount of pseudoephedrine, it appears that ephedrine is now the precursor preferred by traffickers. Ephedrine continues to be the main precursor seized at the border. Seizures of those substances were on the decline for a couple of years, but the amounts seized in 2013 were significantly higher, attributable to interceptions of ContacNT and ephedrine by the Organised and Financial Crime Agency of New Zealand and customs officers during Operation Ghost in 2013.
