The only exception is what the EU defined as Short Sea Locations with short transmit time to first port of entry). – Short Sea will send their manifest 2 hours prior to the vessel’s arrival

DNL messages sent to the carrier in order to hold the cargo until further clarifications have been made. Cargo can not be loaded until the Hold has been removed by the Specific Customs Authority which lodged the Hold.
3 ways that the Customs can control the import to the EU: Do Not Load (Deep sea container only) Controls at first port of entry Controls at scheduled port of discharge.
