Data service Discharge Confirmation

From the moment the Container Release Message comes into effect, it is possible to submit an import declaration only after the vessel has actually arrived in the port. Discharge Confirmation is the trigger that allows importers or exporters like yourself to confirm your preliminary declaration or submit the follow-up declaration immediately after discharge and automatically from within your in-house system, with no additional actions being required. Customs can then complete the formalities straight away. And your container can quickly re-enter the logistic chain. For Discharge Confirmation, you submit a request (based on a container number in combination with a B/L or Call Reference Number) via an API. Once you have done so, a confirmation of receipt will be sent to the e-mail address you provided. As soon as the container is discharged, the discharge confirmation details (e.g. location and time) will be forwarded from Portbase to your in-house system in real-time.
