== Introduction ==

Until the introduction of CMR Imports, we supplied Sea Cargo Automation import cargo information to Customs through our Bureau Services. Post CMR, CommercePlus has developed a replacement that is called ImportNet that will allow its existing Sea Cargo/Bureau Service users to have a CMR compliant alternative with the additional functionality or air cargo reporting.

ImportNet CMR is a means to lodge and manage Cargo Reports and Underbond Movements with Australian Customs.

 * PKI compliant, in most circumstances, users will not require a their own digital certificate;
 * New technology giving greater reliability;
 * Provides CMR Sea and Air Cargo Reports, Underbond Movements, Cargo Lists and Status
