MODCAR - MANIFESTS IN ASYCUDA++ Ó UNCTAD – SITE (V1.15) 5.15 Storing and Registering a Manifest Manifest  storage  is  the  process  of  saving  the  Manifest  and  any  associated  Bills  of  Lading  on  the ASYCUDA++ server. The user must Login to the server to store a manifest. Note : the Manifest MUST be stored before registration. A Manifest can be stored with incomplete, unchecked, or incorrect data. Manifest information can be entered and stored in advance of arrival of the means of transport. Another advantage is that other users on the ASYCUDA++ network can also access the Manifest once it is stored. Note:   It   is   not   unusual   for   a   ship’s   manifest   to   be   received   as   separate packages  of  information.  When  a  ship  has  loaded  cargo  at  several  ports,  the details     from     each     port     of     loading     may     be     forwarded     to     the     carrier’s representative  at  the  destination  port  for  the  final  consolidation  of  a  manifest detailing all goods for discharge. Manifest preparation can begin, be stored, and then the manifest be progressively updated, as the details become available. Store Manifest When  logged  in  to  the  server  the  user  can  select  from  the  Manifest  screen  the   ‘  Local  Menu’, ‘Action’,  ‘Store  Manifest’.  The  system  gives  a  message  confirming  that  storage  is  done  and shows  the  reference  number  for  the  stored  Manifest.  The  storage  reference  number  is  the  office code, Manifest voyage number and date of departure. The server will give an error message if the manifest description, i.e. office code, voyage  number  and  date  of  departure  is  not  unique.  In  this  case,  the  voyage number and/or date of departure must be changed. Registration Note  :  Registration  is  normally  the  process  where  the  manifest  achieves  official  or  legal status with Customs. Customs laws vary from country to country, but in many cases the carrier of goods into or out of a country are required to ‘declare’ the goods to Customs by providing a complete list for the means of transport. Customs law normally prescribes the details required, the form of the list (Manifest) and the place and time where the list is to be presented to Customs. From the time of making this declaration, the carrier is responsible to Customs for the safe keeping of   those   goods,   and   for   accounting   for   their   lawful   release   or   disposal   according   to   Customs regulations. To Register a Manifest The Manifest  MUST  be  a  stored  Manifest.  The  stored  Manifest  should  be  checked  using   ‘  Local Menu’, ‘Action’, ‘Check’ menu option (accessible from the Manifest general segment screen). To  register  the  stored  Manifest,  select  the  main  menu  option   ‘Functions’, ‘Manifest’, ‘Register’ and the following screen is displayed.
