Country of Origin

Requirement:
Leave this field blank.

Note:
This field is only required when the ECI report is being lodged to seek Customs clearance of imported goods, and is not to be completed for Inward Cargo Reports.

Consignee Name

Requirement:

a) For each consignment destined for New Zealand, and for each consignment carried by a craft that will arrive in New Zealand directly from Australia, insert in this/these fields up to 35 characters of the consignee name that appears on each bill or waybill whose number is shown in the corresponding Bill Number field, in the order in which they appear on that bill or waybill.

b) For each consignment carried by a craft that will arrive in New Zealand other than directly from Australia, and that will be in transit in New Zealand for transport to or through the USA, insert in this/these fields up to 35 characters of the name of the ultimate consignee of each consignment, in order.

c) For each consignment carried by a craft that will arrive in New Zealand other than directly from Australia, and that is to be transhipped in New Zealand for export to any country, and for which a freight agent in New Zealand will lodge the Transhipment for Export Entry 24 hours prior to arrival of the craft on which it will be imported into New Zealand, insert in this/these fields up to 35 characters of the consignee name that appears on each bill or waybill whose number is shown in the corresponding Bill Number field, in the order in which they appear on that bill or waybill. If a freight agent in New Zealand will not be lodging the Transhipment for Export Entry 24 hours prior to arrival of the craft on which it will be imported into New Zealand, insert in this/these fields up to 35 characters of the name of the ultimate consignee of each such consignment, in order.

Notes:

i. For the purposes of requirements b) and c), "ultimate consignee" means the party (not being the carrier, freight forwarder, consolidator or other such intermediary) that has bought or obtained the goods from the overseas supplier.

ii. "Transhipped in New Zealand for export" means discharged in New Zealand for loading onto another international craft for export, without entering the commerce of New Zealand. "In transit" means to be exported from New Zealand aboard the craft on which the consignment arrived, without entering the commerce of New Zealand, and without being unpacked in New Zealand. "For transport to or through the USA" means the consignment is either destined for the USA, or the craft on which it is carried is to call in the USA en route to its destination.

iii. In regard to requirement c), a Transhipment for Export entry in the form of an Export ECI message is required for any transhipment that is to be unpacked or repacked in New Zealand prior to export, or whose export bill number differs from its import bill number. As the consignee and consignor details required in the Export ECI are the same as those required for transhipments in the Inward Cargo Report, Customs has dispensed with the need for these to be provided in the Inward Cargo Report, provided the Export ECI is lodged in time for Customs to screen the cargo prior to its arrival in New Zealand i.e. 24 hours prior to arrival of the importing craft. Note that the Export ECI forms part of the Inward Cargo Report, and the vessel operator is accountable for ensuring it is lodged accurately and on time.

Consignee Address

Requirements:

a) For each consignment destined for New Zealand, and for each consignment carried by a craft that will arrive in New Zealand directly from Australia, insert in these fields the consignee address that appears on the bill or waybill whose number is shown in the corresponding Bill Number field.
