Turkey – Customs Advanced Manifest Rule
Vietnam Receives Its Largest Container Ship Call
Effective 1 January 2012, the Turkish authorities have introduced and enforced an Advanced Manifest regime.
Turkey Customs has mandated that a security risk assessment is performed before any imported goods arrive and enter the Turkey Customs Territory. In order to comply with the customs requirements, we request you to submit an accurate shipping instruction (SI) at least 52 hours prior to CY cut off at the export load port (or as stipulated by your local Maersk Line office).
Entry Summary Declaration (ENS):
The main component of the rule is a requirement for ocean carriers to submit a cargo declaration - Entry Summary Declaration (ENS) - 24 hours before cargo is loaded aboard a vessel that will carry the cargo into Turkey.
Shipping instructions must include all data elements required for ENS submission (see details below for list of required data elements). Particularly, at this time we encourage you to provide the appropriate 6 digit HS Code in order to ensure smooth handling by local customs and to avoid possible language misinterpretations.
Carriers are responsible for the timely electronic submission of the ENS with Turkish customs. In case of non-compliance, consequences may include disruption and delays in cargo flows and supply chains, monetary fines and possibly other penalties imposed on carriers and other parties responsible for the submission of cargo declarations.
