We are in touch with mundra port authorities but they are unable to explain the practical steps of execution for factory stuffed export cargo, what is max weight allowed in 20FT and 40FT Dry cargo container ?? and how VGM has to be executed as container are sealed in factory, we do not find and certified agency in Rajkot doing that, our client are being told that port authorities will carry out and will provide VGM Certificate. As per VGM IMO rules separate weight of goods and container has to be done, how it is possible to break seal at port now ? we are getting certification but would love to understand the practical process.
please enlighten in detail
Thank You
Verified Gross Mass compliance required for sealed factory stuffed containers; obtain VGM through CHA or shipping line. The Verified Gross Mass (VGM) requirement mandates that the shipper provide a certified combined weight of cargo and container for export shipments. For factory sealed containers the shipper remains responsible to obtain and communicate the VGM by either weighing the packed container or summing cargo and tare weights under authorized methods. Practical execution requires coordination with the shipping line or Customs House Agent to follow the carrier's prescribed process and to identify authorised weighing providers; port issuance of a VGM depends on local operational arrangements but does not displace the shipper's obligation.
