How to declare the VGM?
OOCL highly encourages shippers to declare VGM through efficient and convenient "eSubmission Channels". Should there be a need, OOCL can also cater for ‘Manual or paper document-based submission’ to meet certain customer requirements. We, however, DO NOT accept VGM declaration that are communicated to us by phone, voice mail or other verbal means.
