CMA CGM’s 30 September notice describes mandatory MPCI from 1 October for the UAE-bound container flows in its scope, including certain transit and transshipment movements. It cites filing at least 24 hours before loading at the last port before the UAE.
Identify who files each document
GENLOG perspective and practical considerations
GENLOG suggests a responsibility matrix covering carrier, forwarder and house-bill issuer. Sending SI does not itself establish that every filing has been completed. Assign someone to track confirmations across the chain.
Reconcile data before forwarding it
Check parties, descriptions, commodity codes, container details and routing against applicable instructions. Reassess documents when a route changes through the UAE. This is an explanation of a carrier notice; verify scope, exemptions and legal obligations with NAIC and the filing provider.
