(Original publication date: 11NOV2022)
Due to repeated issues brought to our attention by different customs authorities we would like to emphasize the following:
HAWB data provided to the carrier must match the House data provided to customs for clearance purposes at the destination.
Example given: if 50 House bills are customs cleared at destination, carrier must also report 50 HAWBs to customs from our side. Else carrier fines shall be passed on to customer.
Reason:
Customs
To-do for customer:
Ensure that carrier is provided with data matching what is used for customs clearance at final destination.
In case of disregard:
