Import container release
All import container releases are subject to a container deposit as outlined in MSC Mozambique’s Local Charges Tariff Book.
This deposit is charged to limit the agency's liability over import containers. The container deposit will be fully refunded once the empty container is returned in good condition to the line’s stock and after all outstanding amounts related to the importer’s account are settled.
Verified Gross Mass or VGM refers to the exact, verified weight of a packed container. For safety reasons, vessel operators can only load a container if its weight has been verified.
In line with Safety of Lives at Sea (SOLAS) regulations, all marine terminals in Mozambique are now allowed to use their certified scales to record shipment VGM.
