Hand Carriage of emergency goods
Whenever there is an emergency requirement for our customers to import or export
samples or small packages of high value and importance, the same can be hand carried
by our experts as an OBC to reach the destination on time.
Hand-carried goods are currently exempt from Manifest advance cargo and conveyance
data requirements.
Hand-carried goods are defined as:
a. commercial goods carried by paying passengers on board travelers' commercial
conveyances (bus, taxi, plane, ship, etc.), or
b. commercial goods being imported and accounted for at the port of entry by the
owner of a business, or an employee, driving a "not for hire", non-commercial conveyance.
This exemption will continue when Manifest advance trade data requirements for importers
are implemented at a later date.
