Creating a Customs Import Entry (NZ)

The Customs Import Entry can be created from the Job Registration Screen (via Customs Entry Button) or via Customs Clearance/Tariff Class > Custom Import Entry. This option is also available from the Customs menu in the Job Registration screen. If the Customs Entry toolbar button is used from the Import Job Registration screen Expedient will check if an ECI Entry already exists for the Job.
