About the document

If you are importing emissions-controlled products covered by the Product Emissions Standards Rules 2017 (the Rules), you, or the customs brokers/agents acting on your behalf, must respond 'Yes' to the community protection question (CPQ) about these products in the Integrated Cargo System documentation. When prompted by the CPQ, you then need to enter the relevant certification or exemption number applicable to the engine for the products being imported.

This guidance note explains the different foreign certification numbers and their different formatting.
