MICKEY EXCELLENCY VGM WEIGHT CERTIFICATES
To comply with SOLAS regulations, we have developed dedicated Verified Gross Mass (VGM) weight certificates for both Full Container Load (FCL) and Less Than Container Load (LCL) shipments.
For FCL Shipments:
Shippers must submit a VGM certificate containing the following details:
- Booking number
- Date of verification
-
VGM per container, including:
- Cargo weight
- Weight of pallets/skids, dunnage, securing materials
- Container tare weight
- Method used to obtain VGM (Method 1: Weighing the packed container or Method 2: Calculated weight of cargo and materials plus tare)
- Authorized signature (Name in capital letters for EDI, including shipper’s company information)
- Any additional documentation required by local authorities
For LCL Shipments:
A formal certificate is not required. It is assumed that the declared weight provided to Mickey Excellency is accurate and truthful. Unless specifically requested, LCL shipments will not be weighed at the Container Freight Station (CFS).
Please Note:
For LCL shipments, submission of a VGM certificate is not
required.
We rely on the accuracy of the weight information provided by you or on your behalf. Unless explicitly requested, LCL cargo will not be weighed at the Container Freight Station (CFS).
If, upon consolidation, the Verified Gross Mass (VGM) exceeds the container’s maximum payload, all associated costs—including reloading, weighing, and additional transport—will be charged to the shipper(s) responsible for the misdeclared weight.
To ensure compliance and maintain due diligence, Mickey Excellency may conduct random spot checks on individual shipments received at our CFS facilities.
Mickey Excellency is actively working with our carrier and e-commerce partners to establish efficient, globally standardized communication and operational processes.
At Mickey Excellency, we take safety and regulatory compliance seriously—and we appreciate your partnership in maintaining these standards.
