Starting in June 2024, EU Customs Authorities will require the following information as part of its Advance Cargo Information System. This in turn will require us to submit the following data elements to the Steamship Lines during our shipping instruction submissions.
The information below will be required and will appear on our HBL’s :
- 6 Digit HS Code for Each Commodity
- Complete and Accurate Cargo Description
- Detailed and precise shipper & consignee information (document party info including Addresses , Email, Telephone numbers etc).
- In the event Commercial Documentation is required (Commercial Invoices, Packing Lists) for T1 purposes or door deliveries – we require the actual seller and buyer information .
- EORI number for EU Consignee’s (see below explanation), or a valid passport copy for Personal shipments.
EORI stands for “Economic Operators Registration and Identification”. An EORI number is mandatory for customs clearance in the customs territory of the European Union. That relates to all types of customs operations such as export, import and transit. EORI uniquely identifies economic operators and other persons.
