Overview:
Stuffing Locations are the address details of where the container was packed are a requirement for NZ Customs Entries. These can be both SEP and non-SEP sites.
For SEP registered organisations packing their goods at an SEP site, then you must fill the “Customs SEP Code” on the Shipping Contact screen.
If:
-
the organisation code is not filled or;
-
a container in a shipment does not have a stuffing location with a “Customs SEP Code” (SEP Site Code)
Then the whole shipment will go non-SEP. Mixed SEP/non-SEP shipments are non-SEP.
Finally, the SEP Site Code must be registered with Customs TSW (as opposed to just Customs). If it’s not registered then you will get a Customs rejection for “Other Information Invalid”.
Customer Actions:
-
Create a Stuffing Location by opening Prodoc Home > New > “Shipping Location / Contact” and selecting “Packing / Vanning / Stuffing Location” as the Contact Type.
-
Fill in at least the Name and Address
-
If SEP, enter the SEP Site Code under “Customs SEP Code”
-
Assign a user defined “Stuffing Location Code” which is just a quick reference so you know which is which at a glance. This can be anything but for SEP locations organisations will often reuse the SEP Site Code in here.
Required Files:
None
Outcome:
-
Stuffing Locations are available to select in the Shipment Products screen on Containerised Shipments.
