Uploading tags
Each NAIT tag must be uploaded into the NAIT system by the tag manufacturer within 24 hours of dispatch.
Tag manufacturers' responsibilities are set out in the device standards for cattle and deer.
First, you'll need to reserve the NAIT visual Identifier (visual ID) for each NAIT RFID tag. This avoids duplication of visual IDs across all accredited tag manufacturers. You can then perform a tag upload in the NAIT system.
You will not be able to upload any NAIT visual IDs that you have not first reserved for your tag manufacturing company.
To reserve a tag visual ID, you'll need to know:
- the NAIT visual tag number
- the industry code (if applicable)
- the NAIT number
- your organisation name
- whether the tag is a replacement.
To upload a tag, you'll need to know:

- the NAIT number

Tag reservations and uploads can be done by uploading a CSV file into NAIT, or by using external software to interface with NAIT.
