Maxetrade

Recently a number of clients have become concerned with reports that we would only support the MaxeTrade network. In fact this is not the case, rather we have not yet agreed with MaxeTrade on the basis of technical connection and we have never had any plans to exclusively use Maxetrade.

edi refutes the rumour that it will only support the MaxeTrade Network in its products.

We will however provide support for MaxeTrade should our clients think it a viable and reasonable option and should MaxeTrade provide the requisite technical, logistical and functional support that our clients and we require.

Whilst edi should be able to support clients that wish to have their customs entries processed and charged at the MaxeTrade rate of A$4.90 per entry we want to make it clear to all customers that we also support many other network providers and options and always have.

Other network options may be lower or no cost per entry. We are not disputing that the MaxeTrade network is high quality, however, most current edi clients are electing to transact their Import EDI processes in the same way as they are transacting their Export EDI processes – that is with a good quality Internet provider with the added security of signed encrypted Entries and a “Interchange Acknowledgement / Retry” designed by Customs and built into ediEnterprise and Deliverance to substantially guarantee reliability.

CMR Deadline Looming

The Minister for Customs has now announced that, whilst July 19 will still remain as the last date for implementation (without requiring legislative change), a review will be conducted at the end of June as to the status of the testing between Customs and Industry and an extension will be requested through Parliament should it be required. Click on the following link to view the media release from the Minister http://www.edi.com.au/documents/CMRMay05_TimeLineReview.pdf

The general understanding is that ICS Import Release 5 will cutover around 1 October 2005. This means that any shipments with an arrival date on or after 1 October must be submitted using the Deliverance or ediEnterprise CMR version of Imports.

Our Deliverance and ediEnterprise software upgrade will be made available once we have completed testing with Customs.

edi will provide further information regarding the cutover following the June meeting with the Minister.

This does not apply if you are migrating from Deliverance to ediEnterprise. Sites migrating will need a new Type 3 Certificate that is setup for ediEnterprise using a different email address.
