4 1. Introduction In order to provide increased security to the global supply chain through counterterrorism and other measures, Customs has been enhancing control at the border by obtaining maritime container cargo information at an earlier point. For this purpose, in addition to the pre-arrival filing rule introduced by the amendment of Customs Law in 2006, the Customs Law revised in 2012 stipulates the Advance Filing Rules on Maritime Container Cargo Information (the Rules), which require operators of foreign trading vessels carrying container cargoes intending to enter a port in Japan and consignors for the applicable cargoes to electronically file detailed cargo information with Japan Customs the foreign trading vessels leave the ports of loading. With the renewal of the Nippon Automated Cargo and Port Consolidated System (hereinafter referred to as NACCS ) in October 2017, the procedures through NACCS for the advance filing are to be improved based on the accumulated cases of implementation (the filings) under the Rules. After the upgrade of NACCS in October 2017, the advance filing to Customs is to be reported electronically with NACCS in accordance with this guidance. 2. Background (1) Following the September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States in 2001, the World Customs Organization (WCO) developed the WCO SAFE Framework of Standards to Secure and Facilitate Global Trade (hereinafter referred to as the SAFE Framework ) to be implemented by WCO Members at the global level to enhance the security and facilitate legitimate international trade. This SAFE Framework states WCO Members should electronically obtain cargo information of maritime container cargoes loading at the port of. (2) The US and several other foreign countries require electronic filing of detailed cargo information at the earliest timing accepted by the SAFE Framework, i.e., no later than loading of the cargo at ports of. (3) Compared with the SAFE Framework and the rules of foreign countries such as the US, the filing rules in Japan in 2012 needed to be improved with regard to the timing of the filing, the data elements required, and the method of filing. Under the rules in Japan at the time, (1) cargo information was filed arrival in the port in Japan and there was limited time from the filing to arrival, (2) in many cases, detailed description of goods and actual consignees, etc. of consolidated cargo were unknown, and (3) not all cargo information was filed to Japan Customs in electronic format. 1

7 eruption, or man-made disasters, such as war, and armed conflict. Japan Customs may also recognize difficulties in electronic filing of cargo information through NACCS in cases such as system failure mentioned in 3-(5) above, etc., while cargo information must be filed in writing using Appendix 20, etc., to which no exemption is applied. Please contact Japan Customs contact point shown in Required procedures when it is difficult to electronically file cargo information through NACCS due to disasters, system failure, etc. on Japan Customs website: (7) Advance Notice Japan Customs provides the following advance notice to the filers within, in principle, after receiving cargo information, when certain measures (e.g. suspending discharge of the cargo in Japan) should be taken according to the provisions in Article 106 of the Customs Law, if the cargo is identified as high risk from a Japanese security perspective, following risk analysis of the cargo information filed under the Rules. If, however, Japan Customs obtains new security intelligence, an advance notice is sent even after since the filing. (Refer to Appendix 4 Advance Notice of the Result of Risk Analysis. ) When the situation (cause) of an advance notice is resolved after the advance notice was sent, Japan Customs will cancel the notice promptly. A. DNL If the cargo is identified as high risk following risk analysis of the cargo information filed to Japan Customs loading of the cargo on a vessel, an advance notice is sent through NACCS with the code DNL informing that the cargo is considered high-risk and cannot be brought into Japan. B. HLD If further or revised information is necessary in order to complete the risk assessment of the cargo, an advance notice is sent through NACCS with the code HLD with specific request details. C. DNU The advance notice of the code DNU is sent in the following cases: If Japan Customs finds a cargo is a security threat to Japan following risk analysis after a foreign trading vessel leaves a port of loading, an advance notice is sent through NACCS with the code DNU informing that discharge of the cargo at the entry port in Japan is suspended. With regard to the cargo notified HLD as described in B above, if Japan 4

8 Customs confirms that a foreign trading vessel carrying the cargo has left the port of loading without cancellation of the advance notice with the code HLD, discharge of the cargo is suspended unless additional information is filed or the information is corrected in accordance with instruction from Japan Customs by the time the vessel enters into a port in Japan. The code DNU will be sent through NACCS with a notice that the status of the code has been switched and the discharge of the cargo will be suspended if a request is not met.

Filing Method, etc. through NACCS (1) What is NACCS? The Nippon Automated Cargo and Port Consolidated System (NACCS) is a system for online processing of procedures of Japan Customs and other relevant administrative authorities, or relevant private-sector services for arriving/departing ships and aircrafts or import/export cargo. It is operated by NACCS Center. (The company s website: The Advance Filing Rules on Maritime Container Cargo Information (the Rules) require that cargo information be filed electronically through NACCS as described in 3-(5) above. (2) User Connectivity with NACCS As shown in Appendix 5 User Connectivity with NACCS, those who file the cargo information under the Rules must connect with NACCS; either through the gateway connection with the filer s own system or through service providers. Note: For those who have offices in Japan having a service agreement with NACCS Center, they can file information using the packaged client software provided by NACCS Center. (3) Reporter ID Issuance Those who file the cargo information under the Rules via service providers must obtain a Reporter ID from the Reporter ID Issuance System provided by NACCS Center hand. Please refer to Appendix 6 Diagram of Reporter ID Acquisition Procedure, etc. for acquisition of a Reporter ID. Detailed acquisition procedures are shown in the Advance Filing Rules web site ( /dfw/web/afr/), from where a Reporter ID can also be obtained. (4) Filing of Cargo Information by Shipping Companies (Ocean (Master) B/L Cargo Information) A. Cargo Information Registration Filing of cargo information by Shipping Companies must be registered according to each unit of Ocean (Master) B/L through the Advance Cargo Information Registration (AMR) as shown in Appendix 7 NACCS Procedure Flow by the 6

10 filing deadline. An EDIFACT message can only be used by NACCS users to file the information under this procedure. B. Input Fields The AMR input field table is as shown in Appendix 8 Table of Input Fields of Advance Cargo Information Registration (AMR). When there are any House B/Ls related to a Master B/L, "M" has to be entered into Master B/L Identifier field in the AMR. Hence, it might be necessary to ask the NVOCC the existence of relevant House B/Ls in order to make appropriate filings. C. Acceptance of Cargo information As for cargo information registered in A above, NACCS verifies the input status and notifies the filers of the process results ( completion or error ). When verifying the input status, the system checks formats such as data attributes. If any of the items in Appendix 9 Unacceptable Items are filed, they are rejected. (A processing result error is signaled.) (Items in Appendix 9 are examples. In future they will be revised as required.) D. Corrections, etc. of Cargo Information The necessary corrections, deletion and additional inputs to Ocean (Master) B/L cargo information received through NACCS without errors can be made through the Update Registered Advance Cargo Information (CMR). However, corrections of Vessel, Voyage Number, Carrier, Port of Loading and Port of Loading Suffix can only be modified with Update Registered Vessel Information for Advance Filing (CMV). In addition, corrections and deletion via CMR should be made, in principle, by the of the vessel. However, even after the Departure Time Registration (ATD), described in 4-(6) below, is executed, corrections and deletion via CMR are possible the Filing of the Manifest Submission (DMF) is made. When already filed Ocean (Master) B/L cargo information is deleted by the CMR, the deletion and the reason for the deletion, such as suspension of lading or change in B/L number, must be reported to Customs. E. Corrections of B/L Number, etc. When separations, combination, or switches in Ocean (Master) B/L information already accepted by NACCS are made due to the amend of transport contract etc., it is necessary to register the revised B/L information, correct original B/L information as needed, and relate the original B/L information and the revised B/L information via the Association of Registered B/L Numbers (BLL). 7

11 (5) Filing of Cargo Information by NVOCC (House B/L Cargo Information) A. Cargo Information Registration Filing of cargo information by NVOCC must be registered according to each unit of House B/L cargo information through the Advance Cargo Information Registration (House B/L) (AHR) in Appendix 7 NACCS Procedure Flow by the filing deadline. An EDIFACT message can only be used by NACCS users to file the information under this procedure. B. Input Fields The AHR input field table is as shown in Appendix 10 Table of Input Fields of Advance Cargo Information Registration (House B/L) (AHR). Master B/L Number, Vessel, Voyage Number, Carrier, Port of Loading, Port of Loading Suffix, Port of Discharge and Port of Discharge Suffix must be the same as those of relevant Master B/L information filed according to 4-(4) above. Therefore, it requires to receive necessary information from the Shipping Company in order to make appropriate filing. In addition, it is necessary to enter "E" into House B/L Register Completion Identifier field in AHR when all House B/Ls related to the Master B/L are registered. C. Acceptance of Cargo Information As for cargo information registered in A above, NACCS verifies the input status and notifies the filers of the process results ( completion or error ). When verifying the input status, the system checks formats such as data attributes. If any of the items in Appendix 9 Unacceptable Items are filed, they are rejected. (A processing result error is signaled.) (Items in Appendix 9 are examples. In future they will be reviewed as required.) D. Corrections, etc. of Cargo Information The necessary corrections, deletion and additional inputs to House B/L cargo information received through NACCS without errors can be made through the Update Registered Advance Cargo Information (House B/L) (CHR). However, when corrections of the Vessel, Voyage Number, Carrier, Port of Loading and Port of Loading Suffix can only be made with the Update Registered Vessel Information for Advance Filing (CMV). When change in vessel information due to transship is planned and the vessel information after the change is unknown, it is necessary to enter Y into Vessel Information Change Identifier field in the AHR/CHR in order to follow the vessel 8

12 information of Master B/L after the change that is duly to be filed by the Shipping Company. This Y makes correction of vessel information such as Vessel unnecessary. In addition, corrections and deletion via the CMR should be made by the of the vessel, in principle. However, even after the Departure Time Registration (ATD), described in 4-(6) below, is executed, corrections and deletion via the CMR are possible the DMF is made. When already filed House B/L cargo information is deleted by the CHR, the deletion and the reason for the deletion, such as suspension of lading or change in B/L number, must be reported to Customs. E. Corrections of B/L Number, etc. When separations, combination or switches in House B/L information already accepted by NACCS are made due to the amend of transport contract etc., it is necessary to register the revised B/L information, correct original B/L information as needed, and relate the original B/L information and the revised B/L information via the BLL. (6) Filing of the Date and Time of Departure from the Port of Loading by Shipping Companies (Fixed) A. Registration of the Date and Time of Departure from the Port of Loading After a vessel loads a cargo whose information in 4-(4) or (5) above was filed and leaves the port, Shipping Companies must file the date and time of from the port of loading through the Departure Time Registration (ATD) by the time of filing cargo information based on Article 15-1 of the Customs Law through the Manifest Submission (DMF) of NACCS. B. Input Fields The ATD input field table is as shown in Appendix 11 Table of Input Fields of Departure Time Registration (ATD). C. Correction of the Date and Time of Departure from the Port of Loading The date and time of from the port of loading registered in NACCS can also be corrected as required through the Departure Time Registration (ATD). (7) Discrepancy Information As for cargo information in 4-(4) and (5) above, NACCS determines whether a filing is overdue, etc. and sends information on the discrepancy to the filers. When the discrepancy notices are sent, it is necessary to react adequately in order to clear the discrepancies. (Refer to Dealing with discrepancy information on 9

13 Japan Customs website: A. Types of Notice (a) Discrepancy information when the system finds a filing is overdue (b) Discrepancy information when the system finds cargo information is not filed through the Advance Cargo Information Registration (House B/L) (AHR) although the cargo information has been filed through the Advance Cargo Information Registration (AMR). (c) Discrepancy information when the system finds cargo information is not filed through the Advance Cargo Information Registration (AMR) although the cargo information has been filed through the Advance Cargo Information Registration (House B/L) (AHR). (d) Discrepancy information when the Vessel, etc. filed through the Advance Cargo Information Registration (House B/L) (AHR) does not match those filed through the relevant Advance Cargo Information Registration (AMR). (e) Discrepancy information when the system finds cargo information is not filed through Advance Cargo Information Registration (AMR) although the cargo information is filed through Manifest Submission (DMF) (f) Discrepancy information when the system finds the Departure Time Registration (ATD) is not completed.b. Delivery Time (a) Filing of the Departure Time Registration (ATD) leads the system to assessing the discrepancy information shown in A-(a) through A-(d) and sends the discrepancy notices if they are found. (b) Filing of the Manifest Submission (DMF) leads the system to assessing the discrepancy information shown in A-(e) through A-(f) and sends the discrepancy notices if they are found. C. Delivery destination (a) The discrepancy information shown in B-(a) above is sent to those who filed the Departure Time Registration (ATD). (b) The discrepancy information shown in B-(b) above is sent to those who filed the Manifest Submission (DMF). D. Output Fields Output fields in the discrepancy information are as shown in Appendix 12 Table of Output Fields of Discrepancy Information, and the output image is as shown in Appendix 13 Discrepancy Information of Advance Filing. 10

14 (8) Changes in vessel information A. Registration of vessel information and after the changes in vessels When the changes in vessels, including transshipment outside Japan after the completion of filings of information described in (4) and (5) above occur, the CMV enables revision of the vessel information, without re-filing via the AMR, the CMR, the AHR or the CHR. The CMV also enables the filers to specify a B/L number individually and revise the vessel information, or to revise the vessel information and plural B/L numbers under the same original vessel information at one time. However, in order to change other than the vessel information, i.e. Vessel, Voyage Number, Carrier, Port of Loading and Port of Loading Suffix, it is necessary to file again (re-filing) by the filing deadlines for the re-filing since this re-filing also entails change in the filing deadline. B. Input Fields The input fields of CMV are as shown in Appendix 14 Table of Input Fields of Update Registered Vessel Information for Advance Filing (CMV). (9) Changes in B/L Numbers including those of House B/L according to the amendment of transport contract, etc. A. Registration of the linkage among B/Ls and after the change in B/L numbers After the completion of filings of information described in (4) and (5) above, when there occurred separations, combination or switches in B/Ls due to the amendment of transport contract, etc., it is necessary to file cargo information with the amended B/L number. Cargo information needs to be corrected when the original B/L number is used again after the separation or combination: the original B/L information and the revised B/L information needs to be related via the Association of Registered B/L Numbers (BLL) to make their linkage clear B. Input Fields The input fields of BLL are as shown in Appendix 15 Table of Input Fields of Association of Registered B/L Numbers (BLL). (10) Advance Notice from Japan Customs Notification Forwarding parties and output fields related to advance notice from Japan Customs in 3-(7) above are as follow.

The filer of relevant Master B/L (implementer of AMR) and the implementer of the Manifest Submission (DMF) are also notified of the occurrence of advance notices for reference (the contents of advance notices are not sent to the implementer of AMR and DMF). C. Output Fields Output fields in advance notices from Japan Customs are as shown in Appendix 16-1 Table of Output Fields of Advance Notice and Appendix 16-2 Table of Output Fields of Advance Notice Status of Relevant House B/L Has Been Given, and output images are as shown in Appendix 17-1 Advance Notices of Risk Assessment, Appendix 17-2 Cancellation of Risk Assessment Notice and Appendix 18 Advance Notice for related House B/L information. (11) Creation of Manifest Information for Pre-arrival Filing based on Cargo Information registered for Advance Filing Rules Pre-arrival filing, stipulated in Article 15-1 of the Customs Law, of cargos for which the advance filing described in 4-(4) above already made, can be made by the following methods; A. Creation of Pre-arrival filing based on cargo information filed by AMR/CMR Pre-arrival filling, whose deadline in principal is vessel arrival, can be done by Manifest Submission (DMF) in the unit of identical Vessel, Voyage Number, Carrier, Port of Discharge, and Port of Discharge Suffix based on the cargo information registered by AMR/CMR. With this method, the Cargo Information for Manifest Registration (MFR) is not necessary to be made. However, when Container Operator, Service Type on Delivery and/or Vanning Type and/or Customs Convention on Container (CCC) Application Identifier are not filed at the timing of AMR, then it is necessary to file such fields by the Update Registered Advance Cargo 12

16 Information (CMR) then to execute the DMF. B. Creation of manifest information for pre-arrival filing by quoting cargo information filed by AMR/CMR In order to create manifest information for pre-arrival filing by quoting cargo information filed by AMR/CMR, it is necessary to carry out following procedures then to execute the DMF.

(a) Blanket Registration based on Units of Company Using the Vessel In creating the manifest information for the pre-arrival filing, filers can use the Manifest Information Registration(Blanket Registration)(MFI), extract the cargo information filed under AMR/CMR, and register in NACCS at a time. (b) Registration by Units of B/L In creating the manifest information for the pre-arrival filing, filers can use the Call Up Cargo Information for Manifest Registration (MFR 11), extract the cargo information filed under AMR/CMR by units of B/L, and register in NACCS. (12) Application for Cargo Discharge Permission (DNC) A. Registration of the Application for Cargo Discharge Permission (DNC) Information Those seeking cargo discharge permission through NACCS according to the provision in Article 16-3 of the Customs Law must apply to the Customs office, which has jurisdiction over the port where they plan to discharge cargo, with the Application for Cargo Discharge Permission (DNC) shown in Appendix 7 NACCS Procedure Flow. B. Input Fields The DNC Input field table is as shown in Appendix 19 Table of Input Fields Application for Cargo Discharge Permission (DNC). (13) Transmission of information When deletion of cargo information described 4-(4) and (5) above and the changes in B/L number described in 4-(9) above occur, Japan Customs may communicate with the filers via Transmission of Information (MSA) in order to verify their backgrounds and/or 13

17 to examine the incidents. (For the filers who make their filings via service providers, Japan Customs sends an to the address registered in the reporter ID system. For those who use NACCS but cannot use MSA, Japan Customs communicates by other means.) When Japan Customs communicates, check the contents of the communication promptly and respond appropriately according to the instruction from Japan Customs, which may include responding to the communication with the MSA and/or the Transmission of attached file (MSB), or responding to the from Japan Customs for the filers making their filings via service providers.

Therefore, Operator (shipping company) and NVOCC who filed the cargo information receive an advance notice loading of the cargo on a vessel and stop the loading of the cargo in case the filing was made loading of the cargo like other countries, although deadline as set forth in the legislation is from a port of loading. (*2)Filing in electronic form by utilizing NACCS is mandatory. (*3) NVOCC (Non Vessel Operating Common Carrier) means an operator who does not own the asset of physical transport (vessels) but utilizes services by a shipping company for the transport of cargoes.
