APL to implement manifest amendment fee in Japan
With effect from 23 August 2012, APL will be imposing a fee for any amendments made by customers to manifest data after the inbound manifest has been submitted to Japan Customs for cargo arriving at Japanese port(s), the carrier press release said.
The applicable fee will be five thousand yen (¥5000) per BL amendment and will be borne by the requestor of the amendment.
The amendment to manifest data will only be made provided such a request is approved by the Japan Customs.
