Electronic Manifests

Electronic (EDI) Manifests/E-form Manifests

There are two forms of electronic manifest, or EDI Manifests, currently accepted by Sydney Ports. The IFCSUM Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Manifest, which is used for reporting containerised and non-containerised cargo, and E-form Manifest, which enables bulk cargo to be transmitted electronically.

Both manifests are submitted for billing and or statistical purposes and are inline with the international United Nations standard UN/EDIFACT IFCSUM Messaging.

For more information on EDI Manifests in Sydney and Australia visit www.tradegate.org.au.

An EDI Incentive Rebate for wharfage is paid to customers who lodge manifests electronically and pay invoices within Sydney Ports Corporation Terms of Trade, being 28 days from the date of service, i.e. vessel arrival or departure date. For full Terms of Trade please review the Schedule of Port Charges.

A two and a half per cent EDI Incentive Rebate applies to new customers who lodge manifests electronically for a period of 12 months from when they first began to lodge electronically. After this time the EDI Incentive Rebate reduces to one per cent.

If you currently submit manifests manually and wish to take advantage of the EDI Incentive Rebate, contact  Sydney Ports Revenue Controller on +61 2 9296 4999 or email revenueservices@sydneyports.com.au.
