Need help with TRS app

Gallery image

Do I need to put in names of individual items in the TRS app, or just group them together like "$500 perfumes, $300 chocolates"? As there is no option to name individual items if I don't select the "others" category. Anyone who has used this app, please help.

You need to list items individually as they occur on the invoice. You cannot group items under a generic category.

And each different invoice will be added as a New Invoice with their respective items falling under it.

The ABF officer needs to be able to follow through the invoice for each item you are claiming.

Use the web version if you find the app confusing: https://trs.border.gov.au/

There is only an option to select the goods type; there is no option to name them on the web portal either. The other goods section is good, as it has a character limit.

Just use a short description (like iPhone 10) and it should work. All you need is the ABF officer to follow through Item 1, Item 2, Item 3 and so on.

But I have multiple items for example 8 or 9 chocolate variants that anywhere from 25 to 40 dollars each and then I have multiple of them. And goods type doesn't say chocolate or anything similar. So if I select others I have to say "15 chocolates" or the characters limit hits me
