TSW Project Industry Consultation Paper - New Zealand Customs ...

assess cargo destined for NZ as early as possible, so that consignmentsposing a risk can be treated off shore or their carriage prevented – as set outin our new joint Trade Principles. Customs is reviewing the implications for itsborder management responsibilities to ensure its objectives can still be met.A final decision on this will be advised asap.Outward Cargo Clearance17. Cargo Report Export (CRE)a. There is little change to the content of this message, other than it will be based onthe WCO3 data model.b. Clearance of export consignments whose Customs value is less than $1,000, orthat are exempt from the Export Entry requirement, will continue to be able to berequested via the CRE (sometimes called an Electronic Cargo Information report,or ECI). The submitter will be required to make a positive affirmation against aconsignment on the CRE that clearance is requested.Consultation Summary:i. A freight forwarder advised that the $1,000 value threshold before an exportentry is required is being abused in some instances viz. consignmentsdocumented for shipment to one consignee off shore (an agent), but forsubsequent breakdown into individual consignments for delivery to multipleconsignees, are being cleared as exempt entry when the total consignment isvalued at over $1,000. This breaches Customs regulations and underminestrade statistics reporting. Customs reps undertook to follow this up.18. Export Declarationa. We are developing a message for the new Export Declaration based on the WCO3data model, replacing the current Customs Export Entry.b. For this first tranche of the JBMS development, the new Export Declaration will notinclude data required by MAF for export certification of animal and plant products,which clients will need to continue to submit to MAF’s E-cert systems. Customsand MAF have a separate line of work under way to look at developing a solutionto capture MAF animal products data in the new Export Declaration and transfer itto the AP E-cert system export. If viable, it is expected to be available for20 March 2012 #8881 JBMS TSW Industry Consultation Page 22 of 26
