Changes

The department has updated onshore pathways for goods not digested through an animal, ‘Green coffee bean – other than vacuum sealed’ and ‘Decaffeinated green coffee bean’.

These updates have introduced Highly Compliant Import (HCI) onshore procedures into the current onshore outcomes. This results in assessing officers and accredited persons answering HCI onshore questions relating to documentation and inspection requirements.

Additionally green coffee bean eligible for the HCI scheme, arriving as bulk goods via FCL will now be subjected to a ‘Secure seals intact’ inspection.

Information on these changes can be found here.

Who does this notice affect:
Importers and their brokers of green coffee beans, accredited persons operating under the department’s class 19.2 automatic entry processing for commodities (AEPCOMM) approved arrangement, Pathway Operations Cargo - Assessments.
