Who does this notice affect?
This notice affects brokers and importers of uncooked, highly processed prawns imported under tariff codes 030616, 030617, 030626, 030627, 160521, 160529.
What has changed?
From 21 November, the department will add a community profile (CP) question into the Integrated Cargo System to ensure that uncooked, highly processed prawns imported under tariff codes 030616, 030617, 030626, 030627, 160521, 160529 are automatically selected for random inspection at the required rate.
Items declared under the above tariff codes will be asked:
- Are the goods uncooked, highly processed prawns (e.g. breaded, battered, wet/dry marinated or processed into dumpling, dim sum etc.)?
The import conditions for uncooked, highly processed prawns have not changed.
What do I need to do?
Importers and brokers should continue to lodge documentation to the department consistent with their current practice and answer the new CP question. Importers and brokers should also be aware of and comply with the BICON import conditions for their commodity.
