Updated Packing Declaration Templates Format (NNF 2017/289)



As referenced in NNF 2017/276 we reminded you that the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources (the department)  has updated the packing declaration templates.

Since the latest update we received a number of calls from members advising us of the formatting issues experienced with the Word version template.

We contacted the department and requested to reformat the Word version to prevent content movement in the statements section or when inserting a company letterhead.

The department has now reformatted the templates which are available on the Acceptable documentation templates webpage to enable you to advise your clients / suppliers to start using the new templates.

Please note that the department will continue to accept packing declarations that are in the current format for consignments shipped on or before 30 June 2018.

All consignments shipped on or after 1 July 2018, must be accompanied by a packaging declaration that meets the revised requirements.
