When an export customs declaration is filed, the customs authority issues a Movement Reference Number (MRN) – a unique reference identifier. Outbound MRN tracking allows shippers and freight forwarders to monitor the processing status of the export declaration and trace the physical movement of goods from warehouse through customs clearance to destination. Via customs data systems, exporters gain real-time visibility of whether cargo is awaiting inspection, cleared, or released. This tracking is critical for compliance proof and delivery commitment management.
