Customs Manual 2023: Preventive Supervision Required for Container Cargo Stuffing and Loading; "Shipped on Board" Endorsement Explained

The Customs Manual 2023 outlines the procedure for stuffing and loading goods in containers for export. Container cargo stuffing at the dock requires Preventive supervision, as does loading both containerized and bulk cargo. A Customs Preventive Officer can endorse the "Shipped on Board" status on the Exporter's Shipping Bill. Palletization of cargo occurs after the Let Export Order is granted, eliminating the need for separate Customs permission, though loading permission for aircraft or vessels must still be obtained.
