There are six modules in the NSW gateway as as follows:

i) electronic Customs Declaration (eDeclare);
ii) electronic Customs Duty Payment (ePayment);
iii) electronic Preferential Certificate of Origin (ePCO);
iv) electronic Permit (ePermit);
v) electronic Permit Strategic Trade Act (ePermitSTA); and
vi) electronic Manifest (eManifest).
