Effortless UAE MPCI Filing: Pre-Load Cargo Declaration

Ensure Security and Compliance for UAE Imports with Trade Tech’s Expert MPCI Filing

The UAE is introducing updated cargo security regulations through the Maritime Pre-Load Cargo Information (MPCI) Program, administered by the National Advance Information Center (NAIC), part of the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Ports Security (ICP). Starting in July 2025, regulations will require the electronic submission of containerized cargo information at least 24 hours before the vessel’s departure from the last foreign port before entering the UAE.
Trade Tech offers a streamlined, compliant, and effective filing process, empowering freight forwarders and carriers to meet these regulatory obligations while significantly reducing their operational burden.

Take Control of Your UAE MPCI Filings with Trade Tech

Late or incorrect filings can result in “Do Not Load” instructions, causing shipment delays and broader disruptions to your supply chain. Many freight forwarders are currently overpaying for filing services or struggling to manage compliance due to complex administrative processes.
Trade Tech delivers a cost-effective and user-friendly solution that allows freight forwarders to manage their compliance responsibilities independently, without compromising accuracy or control.
  • Avoid delays and lower your risk of non-compliance.
  • Decrease your dependence on carrier-managed filings and third-party expenses.
  • Confidently fulfill all UAE security filing requirements.

Who is Required to File Under the UAE MPCI Program?

The MPCI Program applies to all containerized ocean freight heading to UAE ports, including imports, transshipment, cargo in transit, and Freight Remaining on Board (FROB).

The parties responsible for filing include:

  • Shipping lines: They must submit the details of the Carrier’s Bill of Lading.
  • Freight forwarders and NVOCCs: They are responsible for submitting the House Bill of Lading.
  • Master Vessel Operators, Freight Forwarders, Master Loaders, and Co-Loaders: Each must submit their necessary Bill of Lading information.
  • Forwarders: They are obligated to clearly identify the actual shipper and the final consignee.

Key Requirements for MPCI Filing

To comply with NAIC MPCI mandates, the following data must be submitted electronically before the vessel sails:

  • Bill of Lading information: Including the bill number, date of issue, and the ports of loading and unloading.
  • Container and seal identification numbers.
  • A detailed description of the goods along with their corresponding HS codes.
  • Information about all involved parties: This includes the shipper, consignee, notify party, freight forwarders, and agents.
  • Details about the vessel and its voyage.

Filings that do not adhere to these requirements may be issued a "Do Not Load" status, preventing the shipment from being loaded.

Understanding NAIC's Response and Approval Workflow

After you submit a filing through Trade Tech, NAIC will review the information and provide one of the following statuses:

  • ACT (Accepted): Your filing has been approved, and the cargo is cleared for loading.
  • DNL (Do Not Load): Your filing has not been approved, and the cargo cannot be loaded.
  • RFI (Request for Information): Additional data is needed before a decision can be made.
