Lodge Domestic Transhipment Requests (DTR) - Air/Sea

Overview

A Domestic Transhipment Request (DTR) is a request to move uncleared cargo from one approved facility to another approved facility. This is required for any point-to-point movement 

An approved facility must be both a CCA and a Transitional Facility. DTRs are requested through TW Freight system on an Inward Cargo Report (ICR). Like any other messages submitted through Tradewindow Freight, DTRs can be approved, declined, or held. 

DTRs intent is to replace the current manual approval systems for domestic transhipments i.e.: a. Customs ‘Continuing Collectors Permit’ and hard copy ‘Permit to Remove’ for movement in NZ ‘under bond’. DTR is used instead of Biosecurity Authority Clearance Certificate (BACC) applications to move uncleared cargo.
