After your CSN is accepted, the line files its SAM days later. If the two don't match, you usually find out from a phone call — or a rejection. SCMTR checks ICEGATE for your BLs on its own and tells you.
In this film
- The bell: all your alerts in one place, newest on top
- The line's SAM does not match your CSN: which detail, your value and theirs, while you can still amend (the e-mail says "Action needed")
- "Check:" for a small difference; no mail for a difference customs allows; one mail per filing, not again and again
- Your BL is not in the SAM and the vessel arrives in two days — and again when the BL comes in
- When the line opens your link, uploads its file, or replies to you
- Settings → Alerts: choose which alerts come by e-mail; webhooks for your own software
