Standard Operating Procedure in relation to Registration of DPD Client with Terminals, release of DPD Containers, opening of PD Account (if required), procedure for sending trailer to pick up DPD container (in case of own transport arrangement by DPD Importer); reg.

DPD client registration and release procedures require DPD code, online OOC and PIN-based yard pickup for container exit.

Terminals register Customs approved DPD importers on receipt of prescribed documents and assign a unique DPD code and web credentials; shipping lines must include that code in IAL/IGM. Container release requires Customs Out of Charge (OOC), Delivery Order and stamp duty/payment challan and will occur only after online OOC confirmation; thereafter importers or nominated transporters generate PINs via terminal web/PIN systems, present PINs and container details at the check post to obtain pick-up tickets or BATs and EIRs, complete any required scanning and secure Customs/CISF endorsements before gate-out. Terminals must verify OOC for importer arranged transport and publish SOPs and contacts.
