TSW technical reference documents

The introduction of the Trade Single Window (TSW) means that organisations will need to submit lodgement messages that meet the WCO3 data model. 

A draft set of message implementation guidelines are now available below. 

These documents can also be found in the Border sector documents section under News & Resources.

Please send all feedback and questions to jbms@customs.govt.nz by

The JBMS team will also be holding consultation meetings in the week of
21 February 2012. Full details are on the TSW consultation meetings important notices page.
