Directorate of Risk Management (DRM) of Pakistan Customs has declared recording of weight for all types of imported containers mandatory by terminal operators and off dock terminals for clearance goods at ports. According to the directives issued by DRM here, the terminal operators are presently recording the weight only of transshipment (TP) and Afghan Transit (AT) containers at gate-out stage.
Keeping the said in view, the DRM has directed all terminal operators and off dock terminals to record the weight of all import containers as this information is deemed vital for various risk management parameters. The data field for communicating weight is already available in agreed message of gate out. Therefore, all terminal operators and off dock terminals have been ordered to ensure that no import container can proceed to gate-out clearance stage unless its weight is duly recorded and communicated to WeBOC.
