Business Connect release notes

Our release on 4 March 2026 includes the following changes.

Business Connect platform

New – Overseas Certification of Building Materials

This form is used to support manufacturers, importers or suppliers of building products interested in exploring whether a recognition notice issued under the Approved Product Certified Overseas pathway is right for them.

New – Apply to remove excisable goods from a Customs Controlled Area

This service enables Customs Controlled Area (CCA) licensees to request approval to remove excisable goods – such as alcohol, fuel, or tobacco products – from their licensed premises under the Customs and Excise Act 2018. It supports both one‑off or temporary movements of goods to another CCA, as well as temporary approval to store goods at an unlicensed location.
