ANNEX A: Clearing Cargo

Introduction


This Annex (version 3.2) details the basic security measures for cargo to receive clearance. This includes the receipt, examination and treatment of cargo. This Annex also details the requirements for dealing with cargo in order to clear cargo and maintain its cleared status.

This Annex forms part of the TSP and, where any discrepancies exist, security measures detailed within this Annex take precedence over measures detailed elsewhere within the TSP.


Notes on treatment of cargo [s44B(2)]


Cargo has been treated in accordance with this TSP if the receipt, ID and examination requirements set out in Tables 1.1 and 1.2 have been met and a Security Declaration has been issued (if required).

Notes on dealing with cargo [s44B(3)]


Cargo has been dealt with in accordance with this TSP if the cargo is:

checked on receipt and not suspect cargo and not tampered with;

kept secure at all times; and

continues to show no signs of tampering, suspect cargo or containing unauthorised explosives for the entire time it is in the possession of the RACA.

Indications that cargo has been tampered with may include oil stains and damage or cuts in packaging or wrapping.

Signs that cargo is suspect cargo may include unusual smells, excessive postage or if the weight exceeds the normal weight for the consignment type or any other indications of potential explosives.


Notes on regular customers


All cargo from Regular Customers must be received by a Regulated Business directly from the regular customer in order to maintain cleared cargo status.

Receiving Cargo Tables


Records of identification are to be retained for a period of 30 days.

Examination will be conducted in accordance with the Table 1.5 titled ‘Examination Methods’.

Any changes to examination of cargo will be by written notice issued by the Secretary of the Department, or delegate, and will occur independently of the requirements of this TSP.

A Notice listing those items that are exempt from examination is issued from time to time by the Department.

Table 1.2: Cleared cargo that is received by a RACA with a Security Declaration and Chain of Custody Statement

Please note that once cargo is cleared it can only retain its cleared status if transported and handled by a regulated business in accordance with their Security Program. When passing on cleared cargo a Regulated Business must issue a Chain of Custody Statement as evidence that cleared cargo has been held securely at all times whilst in the regulated business’s possession. Cargo that is transported or handled by a non-regulated business after clearance is no longer cleared and will require re-examination.
