Do you know all the manifest knowledge in international shipping?

International carriage of goods by sea refers to the behavior that the carrier transports the goods consigned by the shipper to the port of a country by sea according to the contract of carriage of goods by sea, and takes the maritime ship as the carrier and collects the freight as a reward.

International shipping is the most important mode of transportation in international trade, accounting for more than two-thirds of the total international trade, and most of China's import and export goods are shipped by sea.

As a very important part of international shipping, it is related to manifest. I have compiled some manifest knowledge about international shipping for your reference.

What is a manifest?

Manifest is the information of cargo stowage, that is, the information of cargo cabinets loaded by ships in ports. General shipping companies or agents input EDI (manifest) to the customs 24 hours before sailing.

Manifested function

0 1

As the final confirmation of the contents of the bill of lading

When a ship intercepts or sails, the shipping company makes a manifest according to the contents of the bill of lading finally confirmed by the customer, and the most important thing is the description of the goods (number, weight, name, etc.). ), and then sent to the customs in the form of EDI. When the shipper finally refunds the tax, the contents of the goods declaration must be consistent with the manifest, otherwise the tax refund cannot be made.

02

Cargo data on board as a shipping company.

It can be understood as a bill of lading within the shipping company. After the ship arrives at the port of destination, it needs to declare the goods to the customs of the port of destination. Its description of the goods must be consistent with the bill of lading held by the consignee, otherwise it will be difficult for the consignee to clear customs and pick up the goods at the port of destination.

loading list

On the manifest, that is, on the information of the pre-allocation manifest, the abbreviation pre-allocation pre-allocation is sent by the shipping company or its agent to show the customs the actual information that it accepts the consigned goods; This is a manifest information sent by the shipping company or its agent to the customs, which is closely related to customs declaration-the customs can only declare customs after successfully receiving the pre-allocation information (and having arrived). Without inventory information, it cannot be declared.

The "Order No.56" of 20 17, implemented by the General Administration of Customs in June 18, clearly stipulates that China Customs must turn on the transmission time limit switch of the manifest management system, that is, complete and accurate manifest data must be sent to China Customs by electronic data 24 hours before loading (the ship leaves Chinese mainland or enters/transits Chinese mainland).

Only when the manifest data are transmitted within the time limit required by the customs, and the data are objective and true, can the customs declaration procedures for import and export goods and articles be handled.

If imported goods and articles are not listed in the original manifest, the customs may order the person in charge of the original means of transport to return them directly.

Arrival and departure

Shipment and arrival in marine export refers to the arrival report of goods sent by the station or freight yard to the customs declaration system H2000.

Arrival report refers to the record that inbound and outbound goods or articles send to customs declaration system H2000 by the place operator when they arrive at customs supervision places (yards, stations, warehouses, cargo terminals and other customs supervision places), reflecting the actual transportation status or arrival status of the goods or articles.

The arrival of the goods is sent by the customs supervision place where the goods are located, indicating to the customs that the goods have arrived and entered the supervision place (the goods are already under customs supervision).

Pre-allocation and arrival are the prerequisites for customs declaration. Customs will only accept customs declaration if it has pre-allocation and arrival information.

Matters needing attention

1, pre-allocation, arrival and customs declaration should be consistent, and there should be no "conflict". The information is consistent, only consistent, which is the basic requirement of customs declaration.

In addition, Announcement No.60 of 20 18 further standardized the declaration of export goods, and decided to make important changes to the customs declaration form from August 1 day! The requirements of the three documents are the same (i.e. cargo list, customs declaration and ocean bill of lading). ) more stringent requirements!

2. The manifest shall be issued according to the number of customs declaration votes, which are divided into several votes, and several manifests shall be issued. However, if there is something wrong with one of the manifests, you need to apply for revision. It is troublesome to modify the list.

3. The name of export manifest is inconsistent with the name of bill of lading. If the goods have been released, there is no problem in the general exit and it will not affect boarding. However, during the verification, it may be necessary to modify the manifest, and it is recommended to go to the customs as soon as possible before the customs closes the case. Normal manifest modification process: when modifying the manifest, it is necessary to provide the freight forwarder with the correct invoice, packing list and customs declaration form again. It usually takes 3-5 working days.

skill

Friends who do shipping know that it is the best thing if the goods can be delivered in time and delivered to the consignee on time, but in reality, it is often impossible to deliver the goods smoothly or there is no bill of lading. The following is the way of international shipping, and by the way, I will summarize some knowledge points for you.

1, discharge

Generally speaking, electro-unloading is a form of delivery in which the consignor does not need to collect the bill of lading, and the consignee picks up the goods according to the logo.

Its operation is exactly the same as that of ordinary bill of lading, but it is different in the receipt stage. The process of discharging is actually very simple. Just fill in the discharge application and fax it to the transportation company.

Advantages: Convenient, fast and safe (avoiding the risk of losing the bill of lading).

Disadvantages: the owner can't control the cargo rights.

2. Ocean Bill of Lading

The delivery method of sea waybill is essentially the same as telex release, and both are subject to the company certificate of the consignee. The difference is that, if necessary, you can also issue the original sea waybill for customers.

Advantages: it is convenient for buyers to pick up the goods immediately, simplify the procedures and save costs;

3. ocean bill of lading

Mainly used for:

1. The sea waybill can be issued after receiving all the payment.

2. Multinational companies, subsidiaries in China are responsible for purchasing for foreign parent companies. In order to pick up the goods, they can send the sea waybill quickly.

Advantages: fast delivery, fast delivery and convenience.

Disadvantages: there is no way to get the goods.

4. Release documents at the port of destination

That is, the meaning of delivery; This method of publishing files is rarely used and will be used in the following special circumstances:

If the bill of lading is lost, the shipper shall issue a letter of guarantee to the shipping company or agent and issue the bill of lading to the consignee.

The bill of lading arrived late, but the goods arrived. In order to pick up the goods early, you can also take the letter of guarantee to guide the delivery.

In the absence of special circumstances, this method is generally not adopted.
