Cargo listed on the manifest that did not actually arrive. It is one of the grounds for amending a manifest, filed by the party responsible for it at the customs house of arrival.

The paperwork customs holds and the goods in the warehouse do not agree: something that should have arrived is not there. The usual causes: - It was never loaded at the port of departure — rolled over, or the booking was cancelled - It went onto a different vessel at the transhipment port - The quantity or piece count on the manifest was wrong to begin with What has to happen The party responsible for the manifest — the carrier or the forwarder — files a manifest amendment, at the customs house where the vessel arrived. For containerised cargo devanned inland, it is the customs house at the bonded transport destination instead. This is not something an individual can do. The request goes to whoever shipped the goods, or the company handling clearance. When no amendment is needed Small differences are left alone. For bulk goods such as minerals or grain the tolerance is 5% by weight; for packaged goods it is 10%, provided the packaging is intact. If it is left Filing a manifest that does not match the goods carries a penalty of up to one million won under the Customs Act.
