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.

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 4616 or email revenueservices@sydneyports.com.au.
