In support of the safety procedures and social distancing directives issued by the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Ports and shipping of Sri Lanka together with the Sri Lanka Ports Authority, introduced Electronic Documentation/ electronic Delivery Orders (EDO)/ E-clearance services. Accordingly, with effect from 4th May 2020, and all terminals are required to only accept electronically submitted import clearance documents and release electronic Delivery Advice/Gate Passes.
为了支持卫生部发布的安全程序和社会疏远指令，斯里兰卡港口和航运部与斯里兰卡港务局共同推出了电子文件/电子交货单（EDO）/电子清关服务。因此，自2020年5月4日起，所有码头仅接受以电子方式提交的进口清关文件并发布电子交付通知/大门通行证
Implementation of the e-clearance process is an attempt to reduce health and safety risks by eradicating physical interactions during the container release process. It is also expected to eliminate the need for Custom House Agents (CHAs) to visit the Terminal Documentation Centre.
实施电子清关程序是为了消除集装箱在放行过程中的实际互动，从而减少健康和安全风险。预计这也将消除海关代理（CHA）在访问终端文件中心时的顾虑
