Form Step By Step

Top  Previous  Next

The items at the top of the Form Step by Step pages can be accessed at any time while creating a Plant and Plant Product Declaration Form (excluding the Entry Number page).  These items include the following:

 

Tracking #

Tracking numbers are populated immediately when you enter the Entry Number.  This number can be used later for retrieval of the associated application while it is a work in progress or for monitoring the movement of the application, from submission through to certificate process.

 

Save as Work in Progress

At any time during the form creation process, you may save your work for completion in the future.
When you click the Save as Work in Progress button, a date and time displays on the screen.

NOTE:  You will receive a message if you have Work In Progress (WIP) that has not been updated in seven days.

At any time during the creation workflow, you can delete the WIP Declaration, removing it from the workflow.
You may save a form to be used as a template for future forms.  Saving as a template will allow you to generate future forms using most of the current form information without having to manually re-enter the information.  To retrieve a Plant and Plant Product Declaration Form, follow the steps listed in the View Forms Help Topic.

 

Save as Template

At any time during the form creation process, you may save your work as a template.
An application template simplifies creating a new application by reusing existing information, such as exporters and commodities.  To save the current form as a template, enter a template name and click the Save button.

 

View Form Draft

At any time during the form creation process, you may select the View Form Draft button in the upper right corner of the screen to display a draft form.  A new browser window opens and the draft form is displayed in portable document format (PDF).

 

Close

At any time during the form creation process, you may select the Close button in the upper right corner of the screen to close the form.

 

Delete

At any time during the form creation process, you may select the Delete button in the upper right corner of the screen to delete the form..
