The New Export Terminal Advice
Dear container terminal client,
From 6 April 2010, we will introduce a new export terminal advice drawn up in co-operation with Finnsteve Oy Ab, Multi-Link Terminals Ltd Oy and Oy Rauma Stevedoring Ltd. The same terminal advice will be used at the container terminals in Helsinki, Kotka and Rauma.
The foremost change in the new export terminal advice is that the movement reference number (MRN) of exports must be reported. By stating the MR numbers of the export consignments, you make sure that you will obtain an exit confirmation for your export terminal advice (see information bulletin of Finnish Customs 4 March 2010). On 3 May 2010, this procedure will replace the port operators’ export control used in the period of transition. Until 3 May, we request you to continue to send the EAD’s to the e-mails for export control.
Being responsible for the loading of export goods, Steveco Oy gives an electronic Arrival at exit notification to the Finnish Customs. The terminal advice containing the MRN must be in MS Word format so that we can copy the MR number to our data systems for the further transmission of the message.
Having received the Arrival at exit notification, the Customs can inspect the export goods. This is why the notification cannot be given before the goods have arrived at our terminal, i.e. at the place of exit. The acceptance message sent by the Customs is a loading permit for the export goods to the port operator.
The MRN must be reported to Steveco Oy within the closing time of the ship using the terminal advice by e-mail to the below addresses:
Kotka, Mussalo Container Terminal: mrn.kct@steveco.fi
Helsinki, Vuosaari Container Terminal: mrn.vct@steveco.fi
The other data required in the terminal advice must be reported to the reception of trucks no later than when the truck arrives, as before.
The new export terminal advice and its filling instructions are available on our website at www.steveco.fi under Forms and instructions. The old terminal advice is still used when picking up import containers.
