The chief executive can approve a scheme for packaging and shipping goods to be exported. This scheme is called a Customs-approved secure exports scheme. Its purpose is to ensure goods are packaged securely and transported safely to the place of shipment.

You can be part of a scheme if you are involved in handling, transporting, or exporting goods. If you want a scheme to be approved, you can apply to the chief executive.

The chief executive has rules to follow for these schemes, which are outlined in the Schedule 6.
