What does ‘Automatically released’ mean in Track & Trace Export?

Track & Trace Export will be discontinued soon. Read the article Differences in functionality between Notification Export Documentation, Track & Trace Export and Cargo Controller Export to find out which service best fits your situation.

You will see the message 'Automatically released' in the following situation in Track & Trace Export. 

If all equipment of the document or MRN has arrived at the terminal, Portbase will report the arrival to Customs. Customs only sends a message back if the document is rejected or an inspection is announced. Portbase automatically releases the shipment after 5 minutes. A review can still be announced at any time up until the moment the vessel departs. 

In addition, there are a number of document types that do not require an arrival notification to Customs, such as ICT and TT1. These are set directly to 'Automatically released'.
