Filling of Import General Manifest

It's the carrier's responsibility to file the IGM before the cargo reaches the destination port. The company responsible for handling the transport needs to fill in the necessary details in this document and submit it to the customs department. Even though the carrier files the IGM, the exporter must also know the procedure correctly. That's why the carrier must discuss the associated details about the goods with the exporter before transporting them. Improper filing of the IGM can result in the customs department halting the transportation of goods, which can be detrimental to the entire shipping process.
