From the main screen, go to the 'Notification Export Documentation' service.
If your pre-notification is successful, the dot next to the 'booking number' will turn green. You are then ready to bring your shipment to the terminal.
Should you not be admitted, despite a green dot, please contact the ferry operator or terminal.

Always check that you enter the Customs document number correctly. This number will be verified with Customs upon arrival at the terminal.

No. Empty containers and trailers don't require a document pre-notification. Make sure you indicate in the booking with your carrier / ferry-operator that you want to pick up empty equipment.

The carrier or ferry-operator informs the terminal and customs when equipments are empty and may be shipped without document pre-notification.

In the main screen of Notification Export Documentation, you can track various status notifications.

Three status messages on the left-hand side:  

• The dots show the status from arrival at the terminal to the departure of the vessel. The dots eventually all turn green (in order from left to right) as the shipment moves through the terminal process.
• Arrival status: Status of arrival at the terminal and for certain documents also the customs status on arrival (export and transit documents).
• You can view the details of this status by clicking on the triangle at the end of the line. This takes you to the more extensive 'track and trace' section.
• Loadconf. (loading confirmation):
• Grey: The equipments belonging to the shipment have not (all) been loaded onto the vessel yet.
• Green: All equipments belonging to the shipment have been loaded onto the vessel.

• Orange: Export shipment partially reported to customs on a manifest.
• Red: Manifest rejected by customs. Export shipment not yet reported on a manifest.
• Green: Export shipment reported to customs on a manifest.

If the status is grey, this has not yet taken place. If you believe this status should be green, please contact the shipping company or ferry operator.

Status beside the booking number: 

• This status indicates whether the booking number matches the number that the terminal has forwarded to us.
• Green: The booking number is known at the terminal. Your document prenotification has been received by the terminal. You can drive to the terminal.

A practical manual is available for the use of the correct document types in Notification Export Documentation. This features all you need to know about the pre-notification of export documents, ATA carnets and TIR carnets.

Heeft u gevonden wat u zocht?

Yes, there must always be a pre-notification.

The document type depends on the route and the customs procedure chosen:

• Will your goods be shipped directly from the Netherlands to Ireland?
  Then you are transporting Union goods to another Union country. Then use document type ICT (union transaction).
• Will your goods be unloaded in the UK and then go to Ireland by truck?
  Your goods then go to a non-EU country. Consult with your customs agent about the customs regime under which you will have the goods transported.
  It is customary to have the goods transported under customs transit from the Netherlands to Ireland. In this case you use document type TT1 (Regulation external through Union transit).

For further explanation, please refer to the manual for use of document types for export.

If you prenotify the ferry operator in Notification Export Documentation, the first 4 positions (SCAC code) of the booking number make sure that the notification is sent to the correct ferry operator. If the first 4 positions are not entered correctly, you have not made a successful prenotification. In that case, an orange dot appears behind the booking number along with the text "Booking number not (yet) known at terminal". This means you will not be admitted to the ferry operator's premises.

For the booking numbers of the ferry operators, the first 4 positions are as follows:

If your prenotification is successful, the dot next to the 'booking number' will turn green. You are ready to present your shipment to the ferry operator. If you are not admitted even though the dot is green, please contact the ferry operator.

Your export document notification has been rejected by Customs with error code 6233. This means that: ‘registration of the arrival notification is impossible in view of the current status MRN’.

In this situation, your best option is to contact Customs to find out the exact reason why the notification was rejected. You can reach Customs by phone at +31 (0)88-1566655.

Deleting export document notifications
If desired, the rejected export document notification can be deleted from Portbase by the company that has registered said notification. In the service Notification Export Documentation, the document number must be entered in the search filter. Please note that the ‘from date’ also needs to be adjusted to the date on which the document was registered. Next, you can click on the underlined document number in the registration that has appeared. The notification will then open and you can select ‘delete shipment’ at the bottom left.

We recommend that you still contact the relevant shipping line to inform them that the rejected document has been removed from Portbase and that a new document has been or will be registered.
