Ro-Ro Traffic
Find out about the peculiarities of maritime traffic with roll-on/roll-off cargo, e.g. lorries.
The agility and speed that should characterize ro-ro traffic can only be guaranteed through automated processing of import and export processes.
To this end, customs operators and representatives are reminded that it is necessary:
- Indicate in the import/export customs declaration:
- Box 19: code 1 (container)
- Box 31: trailer/truck registration number in the container section.
- Record the registration number in the application to the Border Inspection Services and, where appropriate, in the positioning at the premises.
- Use the import preDUA as far as possible, requesting clearance prior to the activation of the DSDT. In box 40 of the preDUA, the DSDT item must be included when available. This item can be consulted through the AEAT Electronic Headquarters, selecting the option “Consultation by containers” in the procedures on this same page.
Furthermore, the peculiarities and differences in the computer systems of the ports of Bilbao, Santander and Algeciras make it necessary to dictate specific instructions for ro-ro traffic in each of them, so operators are recommended to use or participate in this type. to consult these instructions.
