Also covered by the order is the processing of the export declaration, product evaluation report, certificate of shipment, certificate of identification and special permit to load.
The online submission of these documents for export processing may be availed of by BoC accredited exporters, licensed custom brokers and declarants.
The online submission of documents for processing of the export declaration should be made within 48 hours from lodgment of the export single administrative document or SAD in the E2M Customs System or the Automated Export Declaration System.
The online submission of the other documents for processing should be uploaded to the Customs Care Portal System or CCPS.
The order clarifies that for the CO, only CO Form AANZ bound for Australia and New Zealand may be submitted and processed online.
Hard copies of the documents must be submitted once the declaration of community quarantine is lifted or within three days thereafter.
