1. Prerequisites — clear these or nothing is released
The problem with a D/O is rarely the volume of paperwork; it is getting stuck on one prerequisite. Until that is cleared, no amount of chasing helps. With this carrier you clear the following first:
- An extended release is not handled the same way as a standard release — do not file it down the standard route, or you lose a full round trip.
- Free time runs 0–7 days from actual time of arrival (ATA), counted in calendar days and including public holidays.
- Overage charges are progressive: one band at days 8–14, another at days 15–20, and it keeps climbing from there — it is not a flat daily rate.
2. Document checklist
| Document / letter | Key points |
|---|---|
| Endorsed bill of lading (B/L) | — |
| Commercial invoice / packing list | — |
| NPWP | The name must match the consignee |
| Application fields | B/L number / vessel name / container number / consignee |
| Additional fields for an extension | Date extended to |
3. Timing and cut-offs
| Milestone | Notes |
|---|---|
| Standard release | No LOI required |
| Extended release | A separate procedure, handled apart from standard release |
| Free time | 0–7 days after arrival (calendar days, public holidays included) |
4. Where this carrier most often trips people up
- Free time includes public holidays — do not count it in working days or you will misjudge when overage starts.
- There is no mandatory LOI, but the endorsed bill of lading and the NPWP are still indispensable.
- Overage charges step up by band: raise the alert when 3 days are left, do not wait for the next band.
5. What comes after the D/O
Receiving the D/O only means the right to take delivery has landed. After that comes PIB (BC 2.0) filing → duty payment → inspection or release → container pick-up and delivery. The D/O file and the customs file are two separate sets, but they share the same core fields (bill of lading number, container number, consignee, tax ID), and any mismatch in those fields sends both ends back and forth for corrections. When we handle a D/O we cross-check both sets of fields together.
