Ocean Duplicate Shipments

If a shipment already exists with the same reference and booking number or container number, the system will not create a new shipment (no cost will be incurred).

  • If the reference is provided in the request, it will always be considered during the duplicate check.
  • If both booking number and container number are provided, only the booking number will be considered for the duplicate check.
  • If the booking number is not provided, the system will perform the duplicate check using the container number.

If you are also using the API, the system will return a (409 - ALREADY_EXISTS) response, which includes the details of the existing shipment.

TIP 💡 To add a follower or tag to an existing shipment, you must send a new request to the relevant endpoints using the existing shipment’s id.
