Customs Only Jobs

CocoonOPS supports customs only consignments. 

Customs only consignments are built identically to consignments where you are moving freight. 

The main differences for a customs only consignment: 

1. Movements don't have to be managed 
   
2. Consignment status is linked to a customs declaration
   

Movements are still needed on a customs only consignment as the declaration takes information from the relevant movements

Setting A Consignment As Customs Only

To set a consignment as customs only: 

1. Open a new consignment 
   
2. In the instructions dialog box, set the following: 
   
1. service field to CUSTOMS CLEARANCE ONLY
   
2. customs clearance field to PROVIDED
   
3. Create the rest of the consignment as you would normally
   
1. Complete customer instructions 
   
2. Attach Freight
   
3. Select the main carrier 
   
4. Build movements 
   

Movements attached to a customs only consignment always have the status INFO ONLY.

You are only able to manage the properties for these movements.

They cannot be marked as collected/departed or arrived/delivered

A customs declaration will automatically be created for the consignment

Completing Customs Only Consignments 

The status of the consignment will be linked to the customs declaration rather than movements. 

For a customs only consignment to show as complete you must mark a customs declaration attached to the consignment as CLEARED.

Once completed the consignment will be added to the archived shipments list.
