Amendments / Corrections Kindly note below important points: 1. Charge will be applied for each “Amend SI” sent after “draft deadline”, thus we suggest customers to consolidate all corrections in a unique "Amend SI" in order to avoid extra costs. 2. All "Amends SI" sent after “draft deadline” will be analyzed, processed and charged, therefore no cancelation will be accepted after submission; 3. After submitting "Amend SI", we request customers to send to Port Agent an e-mail containing invoicing authorization and/or payment receipt and the confirmation of LOI submission (when necessary) as well. In case customers are in possession of originals BL, they must be returned to any MSC Offices;
Whenever an amendment / correction is required, customers must send request thru the “Amend SI” Tool at INTTRA Website, except for cases described on item 9.
In case of direct shipments to Mexico, United States and China ports, whenever bookings are transferred, charge will be applied based on the first vessel´s “draft deadline” booked;

*** LOI is required whenever amendment / correction is sent after 5 days of vessel sailing. Click here to visualize LOI draft
4. “Amend SI” is not required when booking is transferred to a different vessel/voyage, as booking details will be considered by MSC;
5. Make sure to select the correct SI (the one already submitted) when using the option "Amend SI";
6. It is required to identify in the comments field of the “Amend SI” which kind of amendments / corrections are requested such as: - Split B/L; - Seal Change due to physical inspection by RFB; - Typing Error; - Seal Damage during vessel operation; - Etc;
7. In case of split B/L, change of destination (COD), sanctioned countries, registration of consignee/notify or amendments / corrections submitted after destination´s allowed period, further analysis is required by destination office, thus amendment / correction confirmation may take longer due to eventual time difference;
8. After amendment / correction is processed, a BL copy will be available at INTTRA Website or will be sent to customers via e-mail for destinations listed on item 9;
9. Above mentioned procedure does not apply for shipments to Argentina, Iran, Syria, Sudan and South Sudan which shipping instruction is sent in Word format, therefore amendment / corrections must be sent via Excel spreadsheet (From: /To:).

What is VGM?
Verified Gross Mass or VGM refers to the exact, verified weight of a packed container. For safety reasons, vessel operators can only load a container if its weight has been verified.
Government approval status
Approved by DPC – Direction of Ports and Coasts
Portaria DPC Nº 164
What to include in your VGM instructions
The following items are mandatory and must be on all VGM instructions:
- Booking or Bill of Lading number
- Container number
- VGM + unit
- Authorized person’s signatory (submitter of the VGM who may be authorized to act on behalf of shippers)
- Responsible party Name
How to submit your VGM instructions
INTTRA Web Portal
MyMSC Web Portal (Free of charge)
Deadlines for sending your VGM instructions
2 hours before cargo deadline (as per local rules)
Admin Fees and costs
- There is a cost of USD 0.25 per VGM transaction by INTTRA.
- Extra costs for failing to timely provide VGM to MSC will be at shippers account
Recommendations & Guideline
- MSC Local agency should be informed in advance about the appointment of 3rd parties to provide the VGM.
- In case the agency hasn’t received the client’s VGM, the unit will not be loaded.
- In case a single unit from a lot doesn’t have VGM, MSC will not be able to load any unit of that lot, leaving additional terminal costs on behalf of the customer.
- In case any unit is loaded on the “straight from the street” condition, the deadline for receiving the VGM remains the same as mentioned on item 10.
- In case any unit is subjected to physical inspection by Customs Authorities, whether at the Terminal and or at the Dry Port (Redex) and VGM has already been sent, we are able to receive the rectification.
- Important: all containers with sailing date scheduled for July 1st must already have VGM, - and for such, please plan with at least a week in advance.
- The equipment number should be typed without considering space, period or hyphen. Make sure that booking and container(s) number(s) are correct.
- If the VGM contains grams, you should use the point to separate them from the hundred, such as: 26400.080 kg.
- Only the fields that have an asterisk (*) are required.
- If the unit is “Shipper Own Container” (SOC), the container number should be given to MSC – Customer Service analyst before the VGM is submitted, otherwise our system will not process the information. Therefore, we need to receive the number(s) of container(s) in the booking request, adding in the comment’s field.
- VGM’s transmission at the portal “MYMSC.com” follows USA’s UTC (Universal Time Coordinated) time, in other words, if it is submitted at 8:00am Brasilia’s time, it will appear as 11:00am (when the time difference is 3 hours), and the time considered will be time minus 3.
