ACI eHBL 236 – What is the risk that a deconsolidation notice is not a Customs release?

The deconsolidation notice authorizes the movement of cargo at the terminal, but it is not a Customs release. It indicates that the liability for duty and taxes is transferred from the primary carrier to the 8000 bonded freight forwarder. If a primary terminal is the port of destination for back-to-back/single eHBL, the goods must be Customs released before they are delivered to the importer. Retrieving goods from the primary terminal is possible, but they may not yet be Customs released, creating a risk that did not exist in a paper environment. Everyone involved must be mindful of this.
