PLEASE NOTE: Successful completion of CBAFF UUI courses and passing the exam, is not a guarantee of the issuance of a UUI by NZ Customs - it is one component of NZ Customs' criteria. NZ Customs will not issue a UUI to persons not actively engaged in the industry as the lodgement of Customs entries require linking users to an employer and clients.
CBAFF Customs UUI Training Course - 9 Week Training Option
This training option allows participants to complete the CBAFF UUI block course in a different format. Instead of attending blocks of 2 or 3 days in duration, the course is run one day per week (usually Thursdays) for a duration of nine weeks. This option is ideal for those who have work commitments that make it difficult to be offsite for several days in a row, or prefer a more continuous model of training.
