Postal Export (Electronic Declaration and Processing) Regulations, 2022. - 104/2022 - Customs - Non Tariff

Electronic declarations for postal export: mandatory PBE Automated System filing enables Customs screening and clearance of postal consignments.

These Regulations require postal authorities to operate a PBE Automated System for registration and filing of electronic declarations for postal exports, with two entry forms (PBE III for e commerce, PBE IV for other exports). Exporters or authorised agents must declare accuracy and compliance, present consignments at booking or foreign post offices, and ensure packages bear exporter declarations. Postal authorities must present goods and electronic data to Customs for inspection and assessment at the foreign post office, and proof of export and retained records must be produced on demand; penalties under the Act apply for contraventions.
