– ARRIVAL, STAY AND DEPARTURE OF CARGO AND OTHER ARTICLES

5.1 Recommended Practice. Public authorities should, with the cooperation of shipowners, port authorities and port facilities and terminals, take appropriate measures to ensure that port time may be kept to a minimum, and should frequently review all procedures in connection with the arrival and departure of ships, including arrangements for embarkation and disembarkation, loading and unloading, servicing and the like and the security measures associated therewith. They should also make arrangements whereby cargo ships and their cargoes can be entered and cleared, insofar as may be practicable, at the ship working area.

5.2 Recommended Practice. Public authorities should, with the cooperation of shipowners, port authorities and port facilities and terminals, take appropriate measures to ensure that satisfactory port traffic flow arrangements are provided so that handling and clearance procedures for cargo will be smooth and uncomplicated. These arrangements should cover all phases from the time the ship arrives at the dock for unloading and public authority clearance, and also free zones, storage facilities, warehousing and onward movement of cargo if required. There should be convenient and direct access between the free zone, storage facilities and cargo warehouse and the public authority clearance area, which should be located close to the dock area with, whenever possible, easy access and transfer capabilities and infrastructure.

5.3 Recommended Practice. Public authorities should encourage owners and/or operators of port terminals to equip them with storage facilities for special cargo (e.g. valuable goods, perishable shipments, human remains, radioactive and other dangerous goods, as well as live animals), as appropriate; those areas of port terminals in which general and special cargo and postal items are stored prior to shipment by sea or importation should implement access control measures at least equivalent to those contained in the relevant text of paragraph B/16 of the ISPS Code.

5.3bis Recommended Practice. Public authorities should require only a minimum of data necessary for the identification of the cargo that is to be placed in storage prior to release for re-export or importation, and should, whenever available, use the information contained in the pre-arrival declaration for this purpose, provided that it has been provided in a timely and complete manner.

5.4 Standard. A Contracting Government which continues to require export, import and transhipment licences or permits for certain types of goods shall establish simple procedures whereby such licences or permits can be obtained and renewed rapidly.

5.5 Recommended Practice. When the nature of a consignment could attract the attention of different agencies authorized to carry out inspections, such as customs and veterinary or sanitary controllers, Contracting Governments should authorize either customs or one of the other agencies to carry out the required procedures or, where that is not feasible, take all necessary steps to ensure that such inspections are carried out simultaneously at one place and with a minimum of delay and whenever possible carried out with prior coordination with the party having custody of the consignment.

5.6 Recommended Practice. Public authorities should provide simplified procedures for the prompt clearance of private gift packages and trade samples not exceeding a certain value or quantity which should be set at as high a level as possible.
