近日，APL发布公告提醒客户，必须遵守沙特关于国际海运危险货物（IMDG）的申报规定，所有在沙特吉达（Jeddah）港卸载的危险货物，都必须在卸载前完成清关，否则货物将滞留船上，不允许卸载！
为了确保相关货物能在卸载前完成清关，APL对货代和外贸企业提出以下建议：
1. 托运人必须提前通知收货人，并确保收货人在货物到达吉达前3-4个工作日内拿到相应的文件（提单正本或电放单或seawaybill），这样可以确保收货人在规定时间内完成相关手续。
2. 在POL订舱时，必须向海关提供相应的海关许可
3. 确保所有的货物文件（包括提单和托运人危险货物申报单）都包含收货人准确完整的联系方式，包括：收货人姓名，电话，手机号码和邮箱地址。
APL提醒客户遵守以上程序，以确保货物可以顺利交接，不遵守可能导致货物滞留船上，不允许在吉达港卸载！

公告通知
As you aware, the Sea Ports Authority of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has implemented a mandatory procedure whereby all IMDG cargo will need to clear customs before they are allowed to be discharged at the port of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, effective 13 November 2015.
To ensure your hazardous cargo are pre-cleared before discharge, you are advised to take the necessary measures from the following guidelines:
Shippers must notify their consignees well in advance and ensure that the consignees have proper documents (Original Bill of Lading or Telex Release or Waybill) at least 3-4 working days prior to the arrival of shipment at Jeddah. This will allow them to collect Delivery Order and complete related formalities in time.
Customs clearance permission must be provided to the customs at the time of booking at Port of Loading (POL).
Please ensure all cargo documents (including Bill of Lading and shipper’s dangerous good declaration) must contain accurate and complete contact numbers of the consignees, including: name of person-in-charge in consignee’s office, telephone and mobile phone numbers, and email address.
We would like to remind our customers to comply with the above procedure, to ensure the smooth delivery of your shipment. Failure to comply may result in containers left on board the vessel and not allowed to discharge in Jeddah.
