Time changeover on 26.10.2025

As in the last years, the IMP will not send messages to ATLAS during the changeover to the winter time between 01:55 a.m. until 03:00 a.m., to avoid possible problems in the message sequence.

In addition we do not recommend to trigger any manual actions (change of custodian, customs declaration) in your customs application.

New: Status 814 after cancellation of MRN in ICS2

For carriers who carry out their ICS2 declarations to STI via DAKOSY, IMP can compare the specifications from the Import manifest with data from ICS2. The already available check of import manifests will be added by a new monitoring function: 

As soon as/once a MRN is being cancelled in ICS2, IMP automatically informs the carrier with the new status 814 (ICS2 MRN was cancelled). The status is merely informative and does not effect the process. It does not stop the confirmation of an SumA, but it does give you the opportunity to react early and correct your import data. 

The monitoring function can only be carried out by participants using ICS2 via DAKOSY.

Transmission of MRN to SumA as of 13.10.2025

The MRN (SumA) will be transmitted in addion to the ATB from the next maintenance window onwards. Please also note the explanations in  newsletter 06/2024.

Update of IMP Status Message to version 1.5.9

The XML status message contains adaptations for the connection to German Ports in version 1.5.9 (see below). Initially, new elements for German Ports will be acitivated with the takeover.

WIthin the next maintenance window on 13.10.2025 the MRN (SumA) will be transmitted in addition to the ATB. Please also note the information in newsletter 06/2024.

• 851      Pickup right cancelled (CANCELLED)
• 856      Pickup right finished (FINISHED)

The XML Status message has been extended by the element SecureReleaseOrderData, including the following data:

• ClaimID: Unique identifier of pickup right
• PreviousOwner: Previous owner of pickup right
• CurrentOwner: Current owner of pickup right.
• CustomerReferenceID: Reference agreed between the participants. In case of First Release Party the Ocean B/L is transmitted here. 
• TerminalID: Terminal at which the release takes place
• ExpirationTimestamp: Timestamp up to which a pickup right is valid
• ClaimStatus: Status of pick-up right
