Freight & Trade Alliance (FTA) wish to advise that the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment (the department) has issued Industry Advice 193-2021 advising of the Approval of new Recognised Offshore Cleaning and Pre-inspection Provider (ROCIP) facility in Japan for used vehicle and associated parts for export to Australia
What has changed?
The department has formally recognised Japan Export Vehicle Inspection Centre's (JEVIC's) Yokohama C3 Facility (JEVIC C3) as a ROCIP facility for used vehicles and associated parts for export to Australia.
The department has assigned an Approved Entity Identifier (AEI) number JP1013UV to JEVIC's C3 Facility.
A list of all offshore facilities currently recognised by the department with their relevant AEI codes and onshore intervention rates is available on the department's webpage for Offshore treatment of used vehicles – recognised providers.
Customs brokers and self-reporting importers who import used vehicles under ROCIP scheme are encouraged to enter the AEI code for the offshore ROCIP facility in the Full Import Declaration (FID) lodged through the Integrated Cargo System (ICS) or third-party software.
Based on the AEI entered for the vehicles cleaned and pre-inspected offshore, the department's Agriculture Import Management System (AIMS) will determine an onshore inspection rate of either 5% or 100%.
When is this change being implemented?
JEVIC C3 Facility was formally recognised on 27 August 2021.
Currently, used vehicles that have been cleaned and pre-inspected by the JEVIC C3 Facility are at 5% onshore intervention rate.
