This information will help APHA and SASA to identify consignments through port operator’s systems. If you are unable to provide this information at the point the notification is submitted, you will need to amend the notification when this information becomes available. Failure to provide this information may lead to delays of your consignment, while APHA or SASA work with the notifier to identify the consignment.
