We have now received the latest Australian Customs Cargo Advice Notice: 2011 / 03

Client Registration messages have been developed to provide another option for ICS users to register clients in the ICS through EDI. The new messages avert the need to directly access the ICS and allow users to register clients through their EDI software packages.

To view the ACCA go to :
http://www.cargosupport.gov.au/webdata/resources/files/ACCA2011_03.pdf

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/site/page5740.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,
