  • Container is Customs/USDA cleared and freight released.
  • All relative fees are paid—Import Usage, Government Inspection Fee, and Demurrage.
  • If an off-site government inspection is required, unit will be returning to the terminal for final clearance.
  • Proper Customs/USDA documents authorizing release of container for inspection (UNCL cargo only).
  • If taking delivery of an export container, have proper release authorization/documentation from the steamship line.

 

Deliver (FULLNO) Container
  • Ensure the Export Booking Guarantee is lodged in the terminal system prior to arriving at the terminal.
  • When pre-gating, use Export Lane 1, 2, or 3 in order to acquire container/cargo weights.
  • Ensure the container is delivered against the correct booking number in the terminal system.
  • Verify the size/type matches the booking.
  • Documentation verifying the container owner may be required for containers not originating from Conley Terminal (leased units/shipper-owned).
  • Hazmat cargoes must be accompanied by the IMO Dangerous Goods Declaration and a valid Dock Receipt as well as being appropriately placarded.
  • Any reefer container returned with a genset must be fully functioning upon interchange or it will be refused by the terminal.
