Summary of changes and key points:
To notify that Skins and Hides products are moving to the Next Export Documentation (NEXDOC) System.
Registration in NEXDOC is now open for Skins and Hides exporters, agents and freight forwarders.
The department is rolling out the NEXDOC System, a web-based export documentation system with enhanced features and improved user experience.
This system will replace the current EXDOC System in a staged approach.
Further details on an implementation date will be provided in the near future.
Register on NEXDOC
If you are a Skins and Hides exporter or Electronic Data Interface (EDI) user, you will need to register via the department’s online service portal.
If you are already a registered NEXDOC user, you will need to add the Skins and Hides commodity to your account.
Note for users of third party software:
Even if you are using a third-party software, registration is still required to access the system.
The department has been working with software providers to ensure they are prepared to integrate with NEXDOC for Skins and Hides.
It is important to work closely with your software provider to ensure your system needs are met, and you are well positioned to commence using NEXDOC.
Access the online service portal and register.
