Shipping Line, Shipping Agents, Box Operators, Custom House Agent, Freight Forwarder & Exporter can create an Export Pre-Advise. An Export pre-advise created by any party other than the Shipping Line / Shipping Agent / Box Operator needs to be approved by respective Shipping Line / Shipping Agent / Box Operator.
Only the party who has initially created the Export Pre-advise can cancel it. The party needs to provide appropriate reasons before cancelling the Export Pre-advise.
Any party who has created or has been nominated to an Export pre-advise can submit a VGM request for approval of Shipping Line / Shipping Agent / Box Operator.
Under MANAGE go to EGATEPASS tab and search for export EGATEPASS. Select the check box against the required export EGATEPASS and click on the EDIT button. If Shipping Line has requested for a VGM submission, then mandatory VGM attachment option is visible in EDIT screen. Upload the duly signed & stamped VGM Annexure 1 (approved format) and Submit. The export EGATEPASS status changes from OPEN/NOMINATED to SUBMITTED. Once Shipping Line approves the status changes to APPROVED / ACTIVE. The export EGATEPASS can be printed when in ACTIVE status.
In case the status of Export Egatepass is REJECTED then party needs to correct the “VGM Annexure 1” and resubmit for Shipping Line approval again.
In case the status of the Export Egatepass is EXPIRED than a fresh Export Preadvise needs to be created and submitted. The expired Export preadvise cannot be used
In case the status of Import Egatepass is EXPIRED then party needs to request to increase the validity of the Import Release (Delivery Order) as per Shipping Line process.
In case status of egatepass goes into QUEUED/FAILED status then please contact Cargoes Community Customer Support Teams for further assistance on in-support@community.cargoes.com.

There could be multiple reasons because of which this may happen:
Sipping Line has not yet created the transaction for that container or has cancelled the transaction.
Shipping Line has created the transaction but forgot to nominate you to the transaction.
Shipping Line has created the transaction but has nominated the wrong party to the transaction.
Also, we suggest you should try to search the record with your booking/delivery order number as there are many scenarios in which shipping line may create transactions without a container number.
Manually overwritten Egatepass will not be accepted by the Terminal and may lead to rejection of trailer at Terminal Gate. We suggest you correct the details in Cargoes Community and reprint the Egatepass. First check the status of the Egatepass. If it is in OPEN/NOMINATE status, then select and press the edit button to amend the require details. After amending re-submit the Egatepass.
If the Egatepass is in ACTIVE status, then you need to select the record and first click on CANCEL. Status will change from ACTIVE to OPEN/APPROVED. Select the record again and click on EDIT to make the necessary changes.
You may select commodity description in the available list which closely resembles your commodity. Also please do inform Cargoes Community Customer Support Team with the actual description of the commodity so that they may get your commodity updated in the system. Usually, it takes 24 hrs to update a commodity.
In case of Export container-All mandatory details have not been provided. Select the record and click on EDIT button. On the EDIT page ensure all mandatory details have been input. The record will move to ACTIVE status once we receive a confirmation from the terminal.
In case of Import container- If the Container status is DISCHARGE RECONCILE then you need to wait for the status to change to DISCHARGED. The EGP Status will automatically change to ACTIVE. You can select the record and click on REFRESH STATUS button to check the current status of Container.
This could happen due to multiple reasons.
The Import Release for containers have already been created in BT.
The containers have not yet been updated by terminal.
The container number being used is not provided in the IAL submitted to the terminal.
Kindly contact Cargoes Community Customer Support Team for resolution.
In order to avoid any error due to Gate Open/Cut off we suggest you closely monitor the Gate Open/ Cut-off timings published by Shipping Lines & Terminal Operators. You need to ensure to adhere to the timings. In case you still get this error than you need to contact the concerned Shipping Line / Terminal for late Gate In.
Cargoes Community does not allow any change in container details after Gate in at the Terminal. You will need to request the Shipping Line / Terminal directly for making the change. SSR Charges could be applicable for such changes.
We are working on a digital SSR solution so that you may request for the changes in container details directly on Cargoes Community. We will update you once it is available.

Select "MANAGE" > SHIPMENT > Export Preadvise/ Import Release.
Select the Export Preadvise / Import Release which has to be nominated by clicking on hyperlink.

As per current architecture of Cargoes Community it is not possible to nominate multiple CFS to an Export preadvise. Only single CFS nomination is possible.
As a temporary solution you may alternatively use the Nominate Transporter/CTO field in the Egatepass of the individual containers to nominate any CFS. Most of the CFS have also been registered as a transporter to facilitate this nomination. In case you are unable to find the CFS for nomination then kindly request Cargoes Community Customer Support Team for assistance.
