Anticipated Cargo Information (ACI)
The National Directorate of Taxes and Customs (DIAN) requires the advance transmission of cargo manifest information before the arrival of the transport medium in the national customs territory.
Key Points of the Resolution
- Transmission times: For sea freight, at least 24 hours before departure. For air freight, before takeoff.
- Penalties for non-compliance: Fines can be significant and cargo may be retained, generating additional storage costs.
- Accurate data: It is vital that weight, description, and consignee match perfectly among the B/L, invoice, and ACI.
