Import Cargo Release & Reefer Information

In Colombia, cargo is released by customs and terminals upon the presentation of an original bill of lading and the release certificate from the liner or agent. To get the release certificate, please present to MSC Colombia port office the following documents:

  • Original + copy of bill of lading:
  • If a customs broker is going to perform all customs clearance and release process (customary in Colombia) a notarized letter of authorization is required. This document must be written in the consignee's letterhead and signed by the legal representative of the company authorizing the customs broker to represent the consignee in all matters related to the clearance and release of the cargo.

Equipment Interchange (Report) Receipt- EIR (Comodato)

EIR or "Comodato" is a document that establishes the rules and conditions of the use of MSC containers by the importers after the discharge of the cargo. It establishes the place, condition, and time for the return of the units which are the property of the line.

This document must be delivered physically to the port offices duly stamped and notarized by the legal representative of the company. This EIR must be issued by the customer trough our web payment portal and send it to request the release of the Cargo to our port offices in Buenaventura & Cartagena.

For a quicker procedure, we ask you to request the EIR document as soon as you have information of the arrival of the cargo (do not wait until cargo is customs cleared to request it). All you need to do is present a letter to the MSC port office requesting the EIR(s) and providing BL and container(s) number(s).

Customer must send the EIR (Comodato) to the correct channels, requesting release of the cargo:

  1. MSC Cartagena CO088-doc.ctg@msc.com
  2. MSC Buenaventura CO088-doc.bun@msc.com

To proceed with the release of cargo in the ports of Buenaventura & Cartagena. Remember that you need three documents that must be authenticated and signed by the legal representative of the company prior the request of the release:

  • Import EIR (Comodato): This document on the consignee letterhead is necessary for the signing of the EIR (Comodato) and subsequent release of your shipments at our port offices.
  • OBL import document: This document on the consignee letterhead necessary for the delivery of original BLs in case the Bls are issued in Colombia.
  • Letter of authorized functionaries: This document must be made on the letterhead of the customs agent and signed by its legal representative.
