Where imported goods have at the time of import been entered for the purpose specified in (i), (ii) or (iii) above of this rule by way of a Temporary Entry or Sight Entry, such goods must be entered again and the information requirements completed within such timeframes as Customs may require.

Form, content, and manner when using WCO messaging

(b) Entries required under section 39(1) of the Act provided electronically shall be made in WCO message format in accordance with the requirements set out in Schedule 1 through the Customs computerised entry processing system Trade Single Window.

(c) Every person required to make an entry (in paragraph (b) above) shall, in completing the entry provide the answers required in relation to the particulars specified in or by such form, and where the form requires a declaration to be made, make such declaration as set out in Schedule 1

Updating entry

(d) Where imported goods have been entered and the entry must subsequently be updated as no longer being correct or complete in every particular, then:

(i) an updated entry must be provided in accordance with these Rules, and notified as an updated entry; or

(ii) where the entry is cancelled as the import will no longer occur, then the entry must be updated in accordance with these Rules and notified as a cancelled entry

Entry processing

(e) In the event that the Customs computerised entry processing system TSW is not able to accept an electronic entry, then a Customs officer may authorise the provision of the information in another manner and form.

(f) Notwithstanding the temporary arrangements that are made in the event of the Customs computerised entry system not being available to accept an entry, an entry in accordance with Schedule 1 to these rules must be subsequently completed for each affected entry.

4 NOTES

Upon registration the Declarant will be assigned the necessary Declarant Code to access and use the Trade Single Window interface.

(b) Where an importer or agent has previously been provided with a Declarant Code and Importer Code, the same codes will be applicable in the Trade Single Window.
