Customs & CFS
이 콘텐츠는 아직 번역되지 않았습니다.
After the container arrives at the destination terminal, it normally passes through two more parties before the cars reach the trader’s yard: the customs broker (handles permits) and the CFS operator (receives the box, shores the cargo, hands off to customs or the consignee). Both have first-class workflows on Export119.
Customs broker
Section titled “Customs broker”A trader (or forwarder) assigns a container to a customs broker. Once assigned, the broker sees it in their queue at /customs-permits.
The broker:
- Pulls the container’s manifest — cars, their VINs, declared values from the CI.
- Generates / uploads the export permit (if not already done at origin) and the import permit for the destination country.
- Tracks duty + tax assessments — what the customs authority assessed against the cargo.
- Marks the container
clearedwhen the permit is issued and duty paid. - Hands off to the CFS or the trader’s consignee.
Permit documents flow into the container’s document checklist automatically.
CFS operator
Section titled “CFS operator”A CFS (Container Freight Station) is the bonded yard where the container gets unloaded. Cars come out of the box, get parked in slots, and either get released to the trader or handed to customs for inspection.
The CFS workflow:
- Receive the container — confirm physical arrival at the CFS yard.
- Confirm the shoring list — for each car, record which slot/bay it ended up in. Photos optional.
- Hand off — release individual cars to the trader’s consignee as they’re cleared.
CFS is most relevant for cars_container cargo (a box with multiple cars). RORO cargo bypasses CFS — cars drive off the ship directly to a marshaling yard.
Trader’s view
Section titled “Trader’s view”From the trader’s perspective, these two parties’ work shows up as:
- New documents appearing on the container’s checklist (permit PDFs).
- Status events on the timeline (
cleared,delivered). - Cars becoming “available for sale” once
delivered.
