BMSB 2019-20 seasonal measures - Master Consolidator Registration

Under the 2019-20 BMSB seasonal measures, Less than Container Load (LCL) consignments and Freight of All Kinds (FAK) containers with target high risk goods, will be managed at the container level and new reporting requirements by Master Consolidators for LCL/FAK containers will be required.

To assist the onshore management of LCL/FAK containers, including enabling the timely movement of containers on arrival from the wharf, Master Consolidators will be required to provide a Master Consolidator declaration no less than five business days prior to the first port of arrival in Australia. Where a voyage duration is less than five business days, Master Consolidators are encouraged to provide a declaration within 24 hours of embarkation.

To streamline the manual process of managing BMSB risk for LCL/FAK containers, Master Consolidators will be required to register with the department and be allocated with an individual Master Consolidator Identification number (MC ID number) to be used with all declarations for the LCL/FAK process during the BMSB risk season.

Master Consolidators must register to receive a MC ID number from the department, as they will not be able to lodge LCL/FAK declarations without the MC ID number. Failure to report in time or meet the required declaration criteria including MC ID number may result in goods being subject to delays including having containers held at the wharf pending permission to move.
