IAG / Aust Customs Cargo Advice Notice: 2007 / 02
Air part-shipment phase 1 release
On Wednesday 14 February 2007 changes will be introduced to the Integrated Cargo System (ICS) to modify and improve the reporting requirements associated with part-shipped air cargo.
We hope you will agree that this is welcome outcome and should remove the need for the 'workarounds' put in place over 12 months ago.
We would like to recognise the work of the relevant AFIF committee people and the ICS User representative working together with Customs to resolve a complex issue.
We hope this Phase 1 release and the subsequent phase will resolve this issue once and for all.
Please notify all concerned within your organisation.
