Fast freight urgent export clearances

Where possible, you must use the legacy messaging system – that way you should only be affected by the 5.5 hour responses outage. Please continue submitting all lodgement transactions (OCRs, ECIs and export entries) as normal and within the prescribed timeframes.

If you require clearance of an OCR, then please email a copy of the manifest to ITOC. This will be stamped with a manual clearance and emailed back.

For large volume export ECIs, please email a copy of the Master Bill along with details of sample HAWB’s. The sample HAWB’s will enable us to locate the ECI lodgement in our system. ITOC will email a blanket manual Delivery order for the master AWB. Also included in the email will be details of any individual shipments not authorised for loading. Any shipments that require an export entry can be reconciled after the system is up and running.

These requests should also be emailed to ITOC ITOCtradeTargeting@customs.govt.nz and include “Urgent Trust request” in the Subject line. For multiple export shipments please also use this spreadsheet.
