(iii) Multiple containers can be itemised on separate detail lines. This enables the entry to be broken down into smaller entities with respect to clearance. For example, where only part of the entry is of interest to a border agency, providing details on separate details lines enables other parts of the entry to not be held up for clearance.

Container/Pallet Number

For containers transported by sea, state the Container Number(s).
For pallets, whether imported by sea or air, state a unique sequential number starting with "1".

Container/Pallet Size and Type

For each Container Number, the Container Size and Type must be selected.

Notes:

1. There are multiple different Container Types.
2. Container Types are outlined in the UN/EDIFACT 8155 Equipment size and description codes available from www.unece.org

Container Status

For each Container Number, the Container Status must be selected:

• "Empty"
• "Full load"
• "Full, contains multiple LCL consignments"
• "Bulk"

The Number of Packages where "bulk" is selected is "1".

Notes:

1. "Empty" means an empty container containing no goods, where the container itself is the goods being imported. Where the container is being used to transport other goods (ie as transport equipment) other requirements will apply as set out in these rules.
2. "Full load" means goods supplied by one or multiple consignors are packed in the container, and the consignment contains goods for only one consignee.
3. "Full, contains multiple LCL consignments" means more than one consignment has been packed into the container. The container contains multiple less than full container load (LCL) consignments that individually do not occupy the full space available in a container. The consignments must have at least two different consignees in New Zealand. Another name commonly used and synonymous with this definition is FAK (freight all kinds).
4. "Bulk" means non-packaged goods, for example grain, gas, liquid or powder, shipped in a specific purpose container.

Notes on MPI-specific information:

1. For each container number, the New Zealand Sea Container Quarantine Declaration must be provided in respect to the cleanliness (Q1), restricted packaging (Q2) and wood packaging (Q3).
2. The format is "Y" = yes, "N" = No.
3. Where wood packaging is "Y" (yes), responses to QD3a and QD3b must also be stated.
4. Further information on the Sea Container Quarantine Declaration can be found on the MPI Internet site.
5. If the container has been packed overseas by an MPI-approved system holder, the MPI Approved System Number can be stated for each applicable container and the related Sea Container Quarantine Declaration fields can be left blank.
6. If the Sea Container Quarantine Declaration is not known, and/or the MPI Approved System Number is not applicable or known then these fields must be left blank.
7. Where a Container Quarantine Declaration is left blank, or where the Quarantine Declaration indicates possible biosecurity risk, and/or an MPI Approved System Number is not provided, the container may be subject to inspection by MPI and charges may apply.

Seals/Seal Number

For each Container Number, the Seal Number identifying the seal affixed to that container should be stated.
