The Transit Declaration service has been improved for the use of seal numbers. Following a customer request, the service now better reflects the permit your organisation has received from Customs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Providing a seal number is no longer mandatory by default. Whether this is required depends on your organisation\u2019s permit.
\u2022 Please determine yourself, based on the permit, whether a seal number needs to be reported (Portbase cannot verify this information).
\u2022 Are you creating a new consignment from the ATO? You can now choose not to copy seal numbers.
\u2022 This means you no longer need to manually remove this information afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this update, we reduce manual work and better align with day-to-day practice and permit conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
