I found an interesting article on the use of port facilities by Toyota,
Honda, etc. The URL is here:

The inventory program at Toyota was online today, unlike Saturday, when it
was dead. The inventory manager looked up my car, and it now has a VIN
number. Hopefully, this means that the guys at the port have processed the
car, and it is ready for shipment to my dealer. Delivery still looks like
19 September.
