As per Germany Customs Regulations, we need to declare the commodities with different HS Codes in separate cargo-line or description in the Import Manifest.
In order to comply to these regulations, we request you to submit a proper Shipping Instructions specifying the HS Code for each Commodity along with number of packages, packing unit, gross weight (KGS) and Volume (CBM) under “Additional Comments” section of the Maersk website Shipping Instructions page as shown next.
This information is required over and above what is provided on the “Cargo Description” setion. The description of each Commodity will be updated separately on the bill of lading and we will not able to combine the cargo description for different HS Codes or Commodities as per the Customs regulations.
Non-adherence to these regulations will lead to an amendment to the manifest. The manifest has to be then amended by our Germany Import team with customs.
In order to make sure your shipments clearance at destination smoothly and reduce unnecessary surcharge, please submit shipping instruction properly else it will lead an amendment with the customs with below surcharges.
