Cargo Movement

Intent… Identify each cargo ( Entered/Exit) uniquely. Use the Cargo details submitted for Risk/Facilitation Re-use the cargo details submitted for subsequent movements Track and trace – cargo details Seamless Segregation & aggregation process Online Approvals – no manual interface required Consolidated Cargo

Leveraging Technology for Serving Tax Payers

Stakeholders Involved… Freight Forwarders ASC, in absence of freight forwarders Custodians handling the cargo on segregation,Aggregation Transhippers (ATP)

Leveraging Technology for Serving Tax Payers

Unique Cargo IdentifiersPCIN – Primary Cargo Identification Number Unique Number assigned by Customs to identify a cargo contained in single Transport

Document mentioning Actual Buyer and Seller PCIN – 18 digit number (YYMC00XXXXXXXXXX00)

MCIN – Master Cargo Identification Number Unique Number assigned by Customs to identify the consolidated cargo contained in

consolidated Transport Document mentioning Freight Forwarder. Each MCIN will be an aggregation of multiple PCINs. Referring to an MCIN in any subsequent

manifest would mean reference to all the PCINs within.

Leveraging Technology for Serving Tax Payers

Cargo Summary Notification (CSN)… Cargo Details should be submitted to the Customs before Entry or Exit

as per prescribed timelines. Primary responsibility of submission is with the ASC. When consolidated, ASC can fulfil that requirement, if supplementary

declaration is filed by NVOCC NVOCC/ASC can file cargo details earlier to manifest using CSN When CSN is numbered, PCIN would be returned for every primary

Transport Document (HBL) included in the CSN MCIN returned when Master BL details filed by ASC for the first time

Leveraging Technology for Serving Tax Payers

Referencing of Cargo CSN – EN (entry)/EX (exit)/DM (domestic)

Prime Loader files CSN with HBL details – consigner/consignee/itinerary/cargo details. For exports, it can come directly from document number (Shipping Bill)

For each HBL, PCIN is generated (Primary Cargo Identification No.)

In the CSN – DM, i.e. I-I movement, the transhipper only has to quote the PCINs, or if all PCINs under an MCIN are being carried together, then just quoting MCIN would do

In case of segregation of cargo, the various PCINs under the original MCIN may subsequently fall under different MCIN after re-aggregation. But the unique identifier for each cargo would continue to be the original PCIN.
