5.1 Creation of an Application
Users with the “Administrative” or “Submission” role have the ability to lodge an Application for a customs decision. Each new Application is to be submitted to a Customs Authority selected by the user.
It is worth noting that only the user with the “Submission” role has the ability to effectively submit an Application to a Customs Authority.
The functionality is available via the Menu > Applications > New Application.
