Direct Port Delivery: Bill of Entry based DPD grants DPD for fully facilitated advance bills, with electronic flagging for ports. All advance Bills of Entry that are fully facilitated (not requiring assessment or examination) will, as a general principle, be granted Direct Port Delivery to expedite customs clearance and decongest ports; this is in addition to existing entity-based DPD for AEO clients. Importers receiving DPD must comply with port/terminal/custodian requirements for physical delivery. ICEGATE will modify Entry Inwards electronic messages to flag containers granted or ready for DPD, include IEC details, and indicate required container scanning, with similar notifications sent to importers and customs brokers.
