We have now received the latest Australian Customs Cargo Advice Notices : 2008 / 10 and 2008 / 11. |
| IAG / Aust Customs Cargo Advice Notice: 2008 / 10 Integrated Cargo Information Sessions |
|
Customs is implementing some significant changes to the Integrated Cargo System (ICS) in relation to declarations and broker functionality. To ensure that brokerage staff are aware of these developments, Customs is delivering information sessions, targeted at brokerage staff, to explain these developments and highlight benefits. IAG / Aust Customs Cargo Advice Notice: 2008 / 11 Customs is aware of industry concerns regarding changes to cargo status in the Integrated Cargo System (ICS) where the original status is 'Clear' or where payment is the only remaining requirement for clearance. In response to these concerns, Customs is implementing modifications to the ICS to process all facets of risk assessment on import declarations in real time, which in turn increases the certainty of the original status issued. It is expected these new arrangements will considerably minimise late changes to status unless exceptional circumstances exist. To view these advices, go to: http://www.customs.gov.au/site/page.cfm?u=5740, then click on '2008'. For further information reply to the contact details contained in the Advice. For enquiries regarding the Integrated Cargo System please contact cargosupport@customs.gov.au or alternatively call 1300 558 099.
