Just a little more about the Australian Customs “CMR” fuckup.
Communique on ICS system -
Wednesday, 26th October 2005Key industry groups today met with the Minister for Justice and Customs Senator Chris Ellison and the Australian Customs Service to address concerns in relation to the implementation of the Integrated Cargo System (ICS).
There was broad agreement that Customs should press ahead with the new system and continue to work with freight forwarders, transport operators, brokers and stevedores to resolve technical difficulties and processing issues. This will also rely on Customs and third party software suppliers delivering system enhancements as efficiently and expeditiously as possible.
Which means, basically, software vendors involved with Customs Brokerage will be taking the fall for customs. Not a good sign for these software vendors.
