"What important words mean when dealing with customs"

Illustration for Customs and Excise Act 2018

When you are dealing with customs, you need to know what some words mean. The word "entry" means when you fill out a form under sections like section 75, 81, or 89. This includes any changes you make to the form, and other documents you need to give to customs.

The phrase "materially incorrect" refers to an entry that has mistakes or missing information. For example, if you are filling out a form under section 75, it would be materially incorrect if it had errors about the supplier's identity, the importer's identity, or the type of goods being imported. You can find more information about the types of goods in the Tariff Act 1988.

If you are filling out a form under section 81, it would be materially incorrect if it had errors about the owner of the goods, the customs-controlled area, or the statistical quantity of the goods. If you are filling out a form under section 89, it would be materially incorrect if it had errors about the exporter's identity, the final country of destination, or the value of the goods. In all cases, the mistakes or missing information must be important enough to affect the entry.
