IAG / Aust Customs Cargo Advice Notice: 2006 / 22

Customs Type 3 Digital Certificate Rollover

Dear Firstname,

The Type 3 digital certificate used by the Australian Customs Service will expire soon.

This means that users who send messages to the Integrated Cargo System (in both Industry Test and Production), using electronic data interchange (EDI) software, need to rollover to the new Customs certificate.

To access this advice go to:

http://www.customs.gov.au/site/page.cfm?u=5569

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.

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/page.cfm?u=4280 (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 regards,
