Practical do’s & don’ts for trading/ops (where write‑off issues often appear)

Do's

• Ensure quantities (B/L/manifest vs CHED) are realistic and aligned with tolerance policy. Customs systems are known to have not implemented these tolerances in their system. To raise with Vemobin/NCO-NCW industry associations. 
• In contracts, explicitly define:
  • who files the CHED/GGB,
  • who pays sampling/inspection/storage,
  • what happens under partial release or rejection.
• If splitting is expected: design the administrative chain upfront (single consignee vs multiple; warehousing; resale before/after customs clearance).

Don’ts

• Don’t try to “fix” the CHED/GGB only upon arrival; for SPS goods pre‑notification timing is often strict.
• Don’t assume you can freely reallocate volumes once part of a consignment has been released/“written off”.
