Create and Send a Port Order
Export shipments leaving the country via sea transportation necessitate customs clearance before departure. Our system provides a convenient Port Order feature to facilitate this process for the ports of Hamburg, Bremerhaven, Rotterdam, and Antwerp.
An Export Port Order has two components: the presentation notification and the port data record. The presentation notification includes specific information for Customs purposes, while the port data record transmits the relevant information to Customs.
- A route with all the information on the shipping line's booking and the cargo details must exist.
- At least one Bill of Lading (BL) must have been created.
- Ensure that the Port of Loading is the correct one for the type of declaration you want.
- Ensure that you have selected the correct Declaration Type.
- It is possible to create only one port order within each maritime route, but it is possible to have multiple routes within the same booking and therefore multiple port orders as well.
Ensuring accuracy is crucial when verifying the Port of Loading and Declaration Type.
Before sending Port Order, you will need the MRN number(s) in most cases.
After sending the Port Order, you can check its status by navigating to the "Document Status" tab.
