Chinese Customs informed the carriers that timely presentation of the instructions will be strictly controlled – meaning no instructions /no load. In order to comply to these regulations, please make sure to send us your shipping instructions no later than mentioned on our booking confirmation, otherwise we have no other alternative than to transfer your shipment to the next sailing. Please make sure that all B/L data received from you is correct and complete.
Any amendment of these, after submitting the datas to the shipping line, will cause charges for you. For this particular case Chinese Customs Authorities do not consider Hong Kong and Macau as Chinese ports.
