New Zealand now requires TSW electronic delivery notifications

As of 1 October 2019, New Zealand's Customs-controlled Areas will no longer accept hard copy delivery orders, except during system outages. Following a 5 week transition phase that ended on 5 November 2019, New Zealand Customs Service now has all lodgement types submitted through Trade Single Window (TSW), “an electronic channel for the cargo and excise industries to submit information to and receive responses from border agencies (Customs, Ministry for Primary industries, Maritime NZ and Ministry of Health).” For more information on the new requirements please see the New Zealand Customs Service announcement.
