CHANGES IN CUS PROCEDURES – FROM 01/07/2013

Please note that from 1st of July 2013 Croatia is a part of EU therefore we have implemented few changes in our import and export process.

IMPORT

Pick up of full containers will be possible only after the completion of unloading of all full containers from vessel (or little before the end of the manipulations).

EXPORT

All deadlines are available on our website.

Deadlines will be strictly followed, meaning we will not be able to postpone them. This means that after the deadline for cut off has passed, if the containers are not full at the terminal with valid documentation (MRN +local custom export control number for non EU cargo obtainedfor transit goods), we will not be able to loaded them on the vessel and will be forced to remove them from the loading list unles LATE GATE in request has been send as per given timeframe. Containers will be reschedules to next week’s vessel and all customers will be informed in writing about the amendment (Extra charges which will occur will be invoiced EUR 50 per container).

Deadlines for changing the vessel will continue to apply, so please inform us in advance if containers do not arrive at the scheduled vessel. Any changes made after this deadline we will charge EUR 50 per container.
