Instructions for filling in MoT type (Means of Transport)

Below “Transport details”, you are required to fill in the details of the means of transport by which the container will depart the terminal and, if applicable, the means of transport by which the container will exit the Netherlands.

Despite the many options that are possible, in practice, the choice is limited to road transport, rail transport and inland barge transport. To make the “Transport details” easy to fill in, you can use the chart below to enter the data.

Mode of transport MoT Type MoT nationality MoT ID*
Road transport 31X Enter the country code of the means of transport here. Enter an identification of the means of transport here.
Rail transport 210X Do not enter anything here for Rail transport Enter an identification of the means of transport here.
Inland water transport 850X Enter the country code of the means of transport here. Enter an identification of the means of transport here.

*To successfully dispatch the message and operationally process it, the MoT ID must be specified. However, this is often not known in practice. Usually, a period (.) or the text “unknown” suffices.
