No doc no load policy for Export out of Belgium

With reference to our previous communication, on 1st of January 2020 the Belgian Port community will apply a no customs documents, no load principle for all export cargo.

Important guidelines to take into account are:

• Mandatory registration of the customs document in the e-desk application C-point.
• Deadlines need to be respected.

What does that mean for you as a Maersk customer?

• ALL export cargo must be registered_also community cargo (T2L)_ with an exception of empty Shippers own containers.
• It is the customer or his customs clearance agent’s responsibility to register the customs documents timely in C-point.
• Please address export registration to our team - CHECKPOINT.BE@lns.maersk.com - if needed. Cost is 14 EUR/document.
• As a general rule containers should be at quay and customs documents must be registered at least 24 hours prior ETA of the vessel.
