Unique Consignment Reference or UCR is a unique reference electronically assigned to any trade transactions as early as possible during the trade cycle.
Related : GCNet MDA Tracking Approval Status of Applications : www.statusin.org/5064.html
This should be applied ideally as soon as the contract for supply of goods between exporter and importer has been agreed.
It should be referenced in all subsequent trade documentation including :
** Suppliers Order
I** nvoice
I** DF
** FCVR
** AWB/BL
** Customs Declaration
** All MDA Permits and Exemptions
Within the eMDA Portal, the creation of a UCR will be a prerequisite for the creation of all consignment documents such as permits, exemptions, and Import Declaration Form (IDF). This will also be used to link together a request for permit and a customs declaration.
UCR captures information on the exporter and importer details, goods descriptions, consignment country of origin and destination, the mode of transport used for the transaction, and optionally, supporting documents to a transaction.
