One of the consequences of the ban is that it is now illegal, under the Films, Videos, and Publications Classification Act 1993, to possess Postal 2 in New Zealand. Anyone who possesses this game is liable to a fine of $2,000 (s131). Anyone who supplies, distributes, exhibits, displays or advertises Postal 2 could be imprisoned for up to a year or fined $20,000. Incorporated distributors and retailers could face a fine of $50,000 (s124). Likewise any person importing Postal 2 risks seizure of the game as well as 6 months in jail or a fine of $10,000 (s209 of the Customs and Excise Act).
