NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 52

8 MAY 2013

CONTAINERS

Notes:

(i) Where goods are transported by sea in a container, information on the container is needed here.

(ii) Where goods are transported by air, information with respect to the pallet is needed here.

(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 exported 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:

(i) There are multiple different Container Types.

(ii) Container Types are also 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:

(i) "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 (i.e. as transport equipment) other requirements will apply as set out in these rules.

(ii) "Full load" means goods supplied by one or multiple consignors are packed in the container, and the consignment contains goods for only one consignee.

(iii) "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).

(iv) "Bulk" means non-packaged goods, for example grain, gas, liquid or powder shipped in a specific purpose container.

Seals/Seal Number

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

Sealing Party

The name of the party sealing each specific container must be stated.

Note:
This is a free text field.

Packaging

The Package Type and Total Number of packages as listed on the Master Bill or Bill of Lading/Booking Reference for each container/pallet number must be stated.

The full list of Package Type codes are listed under UN/EDIFACT Recommendation 21 Annex VI available from www.unece.org.

No packaging information is required for "Empty" Container Type.

CONTAINER PACK LOCATION

Where known, the Container Pack Location and the address details should be provided.
