We have now received the latest Australian Customs Cargo Advice Notice: 2011 / 12

From 1 December 2011, Customs and Border Protection will no longer request Industry to produce supporting commercial documentation for every Post Delivery Amendment. Customs and Border Protection will advise Industry through existing ICS messaging, when it is deemed necessary to produce supporting commercial documentation.

To view the ACCA go to :

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.

Australian Cargo Customs Advices - general info

All previous Australian Cargo Customs Advices (ACCA's) that have evolved from the Industry Action Group (IAG) forum are accessible at: http://www.cargosupport.gov.au/notices/acca/acca.asp.

To receive these and other ICS related information direct from Customs you need to be added to the "ICS / CMR Mailing List" by going to the Customs homepage under "who we are" then "join our mailing lists", or directly at: http://www.customs.gov.au/site/page4280.asp (through this site, access is also available to other mailing lists including dissemination of Australian Customs Notices)

Outage Notifications

Customs are looking to have a revised notification service in place in the New Year. Until then, if someone wants to be added to the outage notification list, they should email: User Support icsbus@customs.gov.au and ask to have their email address added.

Please advise all concerned.

Thank you and kind regards,
