I got off the plane walked all the way to the end to the right a little door you go thru they scan stuff walk up a few stairs there are duty free shops there I went into the business lounge. I took the pears and went back down stairs to where they scan the stuff and told them my wife is coming I want to meet her. He escorted me back thru near to where there is a little currency exchange desk I sat waited they arrived. I then went thru a opening with a wooden border tribal I guess along the moving escalators around to the left one guy sitting on a small high chair and tiny desk . My wife spoke to him I saw the belts and emptied everything on to them.
Between the wooden tribal arch and the guy on the high chair you have missed the large duty free store, then the border where you join either the NZ/Australia, APEC or 'Other' lanes to have your passport and arrival card checked and returned to you (the " immigration customs area"), then you go down an escalator to the baggage reclaim before joining a red or a green lane that leads to a man/woman on a high chair. Generally there are multiple men/women (agriculture inspectors) on chairs at podiums.
