Who does this notice affect?
All importers and customs brokers who request a ‘Location Change’ using the ‘Request a Reassessment’ function in the Cargo Online Lodgement System (COLS).
What has changed?
There are no changes to the COLS system but the Department has noted an increased use of ‘Request a Reassessment’ to change Approved Arrangement locations.
The use of the ‘Request a reassessment’ category is out of scope as a category currently exists to manage location change requests.
The use of ‘Request a reassessment’ will no longer be accepted to amend Approved Arrangement locations. All importers and customs brokers will be advised via email to re-lodge using the ‘Make an Enquiry’ option in COLS selecting the “Location change” enquiry type.
Further information
General information for users can be found on the COLS homepage. More specific information for industry participants on utilising this COLS functionality is available on the COLS Support page.
