Trade Single Window (TSW): Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how the Trade Single Window simplifies customs and biosecurity declarations for importers and exporters in New Zealand.

The Trade Single Window (TSW) is a digital platform that allows businesses to manage their import and export documentation through one central location.

Who it's for

This system is designed for all commercial importers and exporters operating in New Zealand.

What you get

Instead of dealing with multiple different agencies, you get access to a single portal. This allows you to submit your customs and biosecurity declarations in one place, streamlining the process for moving goods in and out of the country.

What it costs you

To use the system, you will need to cover the costs associated with user registration and obtaining a digital certificate.

The catch to know

The system may experience downtime during periods of peak filing, which could temporarily affect your ability to submit declarations.

How to apply

  1. Register your business as a user on the platform.
  2. Obtain the required digital certificate for secure access.
  3. Use the online portal to submit your necessary declarations.
