Power of the Movement Reference Number (MRN) on CDS

What is MRN?

The Movement Reference Number (MRN) is a unique identifier assigned to each customs declaration. It plays a vital role in managing and tracking shipments, ensuring smoother cross-border movement for importers and exporters.

Why MRN is Critical for Your Business

• Faster Processing: MRN speeds up customs clearance by linking your goods directly with customs authorities.
• Tax Deferral: You can delay paying import taxes until goods reach their final destination, improving cash flow.
• Improved Tracking: MRN enables easy tracking, making sure your goods comply with customs regulations.

MRN in the CDS Environment

As Customs Declaration Service (CDS) replaces the CHIEF system, using an MRN has become essential for customs declarations. It provides proof of submission and helps authorities track your goods in real-time.
