How does it work?
When a container arrives at the terminal (via truck, inland navigation vessel or train), as terminal operator you check whether the MRN number (the customs declaration number) is registered in the e-Desk database. Then, as a terminal operator, you send a CODECO message (container) to customs. This electronic message confirms the arrival of the container at the terminal and links it to the customs declaration (MRN number). Customs conducts a risk analysis based on this and determines whether an exit check, such as scanning or physical verification, is necessary.
For general cargo, the arrival notification is sent to customs via the central breakbulk application Cubix.
