As previously mentioned, CONTAINER SEAL ACCURACY is very important; however, discrepancies continue to appear.
Please note that certain customs and terminals at destination countries have extremely strict Container Seal Regulation. Some import customs are imposing very heavy penalties and complicated amendment process on seal discrepancies or minor deviation of prefix.
FYR, East Africa customs still have extreme tough control and penalties on seal discrepancy. Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania customs are recently charging penalty of close to USD1,000 for seal number amendment, while other destination customs are also imposing penalties at different quantum.
Considering the tedious amendment process, we will on top impose Line Admin Fee of USD100 per case. Therefore, your full compliance is a must to effectively facilitate the import manifest process and seal validation at destination. Otherwise, the heavy penalties, delay and Admin Fee will be on account of cargo owner.
We need your immediate attention and cooperation on the following seal control.
Control on Container Seal
Bottle seal should be placed on the right door at the time of entry/reception/shipping.

We are pleased to inform you that Dubai Trade has introduced the “Electronic Delivery Order”, to reduce the turn-around time of the import processes with just single click.
The new system will enable shipping agents, freight forwarders and Beneficial Cargo Owners (BCOs) to move beyond tedious over-the-counter operations that require physical visits and upgrade to a highly automated process that delivers a cost-effective, efficient and time-saving mechanism.
The process is further eased with Dubai Customs now accepting Bills of Lading and Delivery Orders (DOs) sent electronically by the shipping agents/shippers without the need for stamping for all customs cases.
Please note that the agents and shippers will be responsible for the information they file, with Dubai Customs having the right to these documents any time.
