Customs Procedures for Using the Electronic Certificate of Origin (e-CO)

1. Importers must verify the status of the electronic Certificate of Origin (e-CO) through the data connection tracking system NSW e-Tracking via the application or web browser.
   
2. If the status shows RES, it means the e-CO data has been successfully transmitted to the Customs system.
   
   
3. Prepare the import declaration by specifying the e-CO number and date, and indicate the preferential tariff code J1E, J2E, or J3E.
   
   
4. Importers are not required to upload a PDF version of the CO or present a paper CO.
   The Customs Department will grant preferential tariff treatment based on the verified e-CO.

If the e-CO status does not appear (due to technical issues or system errors), importers shall proceed with the customs procedure using the CO in PDF format.
