Purpose:
This Industry Advice Notice (IAN) is to remind Other Goods Exporters using the Next Export Documentation (NEXDOC) system to obtain an NX188M, NX188B, AFQT1 and AFSA1 certificate of the requirement to enter production processes, including manufacturer name in the product for export section of the Request for Export (REX).
Note: this step is not required for NX418 certificates.
Note: this process does not apply to REXs using the 20 or more product lines packing list functionality.
Summary of changes and key points:
For each line of product added in the ‘product for export’ section of a Request For Export (REX) for an NX188M, NX188B, AFQT1 and AFSA1, you will be required to include a manufacturer name.
If no manufacturer details are included, the department will reject your REX and require you to enter the details before a certificate can be issued.

Note: this process does not apply to REXs using the 20 or more product lines packing list functionality.
