To further promote ease of doing business with Hapag-Lloyd, its Chennai office has initiated electronic filing of Shipping Bill (e-SB) through the Export General Manifest (EGM) module of the online portal ODeX.
It said in a release that this online service of requesting an EGM through the ODeX platform is free of charge and has several benefits:
* Linkage with eForm 13 and eVGM module for smoother workflow
* ODeX provides the option of uploading the Shipping Bill EDI, eliminating data entry errors
* Simplified GST refund procedure due to errorless EGM data
* Provides a single platform for attaching and storing documents such as Shipping Bill/EIR/Tally sheet or stuffing report
* Customers are no longer required to visit surveyors’ office to submit the hard copy of the Shipping Bill
It has requested customers to start using e-SB (EGM Module) facility through ODeX with immediate effect as submitting hard copies of the Shipping Bill will not be possible after July 1, 2019.
