What is MRN?

The Movement Reference Number (MRN) is a unique 18-character code assigned to each import/export declaration. It helps businesses and customs track shipments seamlessly, making the customs process faster and more efficient.

Why Does MRN Matter?

Faster Customs Clearance: MRN electronically connects your goods to customs, reducing delays.
Tax Suspension: You can defer import taxes until goods reach their final destination.
Error-Free Documentation: Each declaration gets its own MRN, reducing the risk of errors in customs control.

MRN with CDS

With the Customs Declaration Service (CDS) now replacing CHIEF, the MRN is crucial for tracking and processing shipments. It’s automatically generated, ensuring your goods are cleared and tracked efficiently.
