Solving Common Tracking Issues
Tracking multimodal commercial freight involves complex port logistics and customs procedures. Try these troubleshooting steps on our SMS Logistics tracking tool to identify why your status might be missing:
- “Record Not Found”: If your booking was recently confirmed, tracking will not go live until the goods are physically manifested and received at the origin terminal or warehouse.
- The Transit Pause: Maritime vessels do not provide constant real-time updates while navigating the ocean. Tracking will typically remain static for several days or weeks until the ship physically docks.
- Stuck at “Customs Clearance”: If your freight has arrived but is not moving, it may be held by Indonesian customs. Your broker may require additional commercial invoices, tax IDs, or duty payments to release the cargo.
- Incorrect Number Format: Ensure you enter the exact Container Number, AWB, or SMS Booking Reference without any extra spaces.
