Administrative provisions - Registered user systems

325: Documents provided using registered user system must be provided in prescribed way

You could also call this:

"Send documents to Customs in the right way, following the chief executive's rules."

Illustration for Customs and Excise Act 2018

When you use a registered user system to give documents to Customs, you must do it in the way the chief executive's rules say. The chief executive's rules might be different if you are using a system called JBMS. You can find out what the rules are by looking at the rules made for the purposes of providing documents.

If you are giving documents to comply with a requirement under a Ministry Act, you must provide them in the form and manner that is approved in writing under that Act. You can find out what a Ministry Act is by looking at the definition in section 302(4). A Ministry Act includes the Biosecurity Act 1993.

Some words have special meanings in this section, like border information and Ministry. You can find out what these words mean by looking at the definitions in section 302(4). The rules might also tell you what form and manner to use when giving documents.
