AMENDING IMPORT DECLARATIONS - PROCESS FLOW
Amendment of an import declaration involves four discrete processes:
* Search for the import declaration to be amended
* Save the amendments
* Submit the amended declaration
* Lodge the amended declaration
Import declarations that have been saved or submitted but not lodged can be updated by retrieving the saved/submitted import declaration
and using the Import Declaration Navigation Options Create screen to access the details that need to be updated.
Import declarations that have been lodged must be amended through the Import Declaration (N10) Navigation Options Amend screen.
Amendments to import declarations can be made before or after the payment of duty, taxes and charges.
The amend process is similar to the create process:
* the amended document is submitted
* Amend Questions display which must be answered
* any errors or additional information are displayed in the Business Errors screen. Errors must be rectified and the amended
import declaration resubmitted.
* the Duty, Taxes & Charges screen is updated with new values if applicable.
In order to lodge the amended import declaration:
* all mandatory information must be entered
* the reason for amending the import declaration must be entered into the Change Reason Information screen
* the community protection and lodgement questions are updated and must be answered.
