DETAILED IMPORT CONTAINER INSPECTION PROCEDURES

low is a detailed guide on how to register for import container inspection at the Cat Lai Port complex.

1. Send Email for Inspection Yard Transfer Registration

Depending on the container’s location, the email registration process may vary:

Container already at the yard: Send an email to the reception team at cbkh.cl@saigonnewport.com.vn.
Container still onboard the ship: Register to transfer the container directly to the inspection yard (at least 4 hours before the ship docks) by sending an email to khuhang.kbcl@saigonnewport.com.vn.

2. Register on ePort

Customers can register for related services via the ePort platform, including:

“Seal cutting/clamping” service
“Stuffing/destuffing for inspection” service
Printing the cargo handling slip

3. Perform On-Site Procedures

Customers need to bring the necessary documents to complete the inspection procedures:

A photocopy of the ID/Passport
Printed cargo handling slip to initiate the seal cutting/clamping procedures at the on-site operations area

Important Notes:

Manual inspection yard transfer: Customers must visit the operations office at the cargo area (P39 line entrance) to register.
Second inspection: No need to register on ePort; direct registration is done at the on-site operations area (P39 line exit).

Conclusion

Import container inspection is a mandatory process to ensure the legality and transparency of goods. Understanding the registration process and following the correct steps will help businesses save time and maintain efficient cargo handling operations.
