For veterinary cargo via ferry operators, the NVWA allows document control (D-control) to be performed based on a copy of your certificate. Your GGB declaration will then be given the status ‘Document confirm (awaiting original)’ also known as a ‘provisional D-compliant’.
You can leave the ferry terminal after demonstrating to Customs that your shipment has the status ‘Document Provisionally Compliant’.
You can demonstrate this status in two ways:
1) By using the print function (PDF)
2) By means of an e-mail notification
