Animal Permit to Import Forms
April 2013 Update
At the end of last year we notified importers that the way to submit permit applications was going to change in mid-2013. The current methods of email, fax or via post, are to be replaced with an on-line application process through a joint MPI/Customs portal called Trade Single Window (TSW).
At this stage, however, there is no firm date as to when this will occur. Please continue using the application forms at the following links and submit in the usual way (email, fax, post). We will notify you of further updates as they become available.
Animal/animal product application forms
Plant/plant product application forms
About TSW Permit Applications
TSW will allow you to enter permit application details for a new permit and, once in the system, apply for a renewal or amendment. TSW will provide an electronic record of your application and eventually the approved permit itself will be able to be retrieved from TSW.
For more information on TSW and the Joint Border Management System, please refer to the following website: http://www.customs.govt.nz/features/bordersector/jbms
