Default Import Shipment Handling
OVERVIEW

What is a Default Import Shipment?
A default shipment refers to cargo that has:
- Arrived at the destination port without proper documentation
- Been abandoned by the original importer
- Incurred demurrage or detention charges due to delay
- Lacked required permits, licenses, or approvals
- Been seized or flagged by customs for irregularities
- Lost its consignee’s interest due to financial/legal reasons

- Bill of Lading
- Invoice & Packing List
- Import Licenses
