Bulk Importing Passports via CSV
Download the template
Go to Dashboard โ Import and click Download CSV Template. The template has one column per Annex XIII field with all headers pre-labelled in the exact format DPP Cloud expects. Row 1 is headers, Row 2 is example data โ delete the example row before importing.
The template prevents the most common import errors: wrong column names, incorrect date formats, and missing required fields.
Preparing your data
Add one passport per row, starting from Row 2.
Required columns
Every row must have a value for:
product_nameโ the commercial product namebattery_categoryโ must be exactly:EV BatteryorIndustrial Batterypassport_levelโ must be:model,batch, oritemmanufacturer_nameโ legal name of the manufacturer
Data formats
- Dates: YYYY-MM-DD (e.g. 2026-03-25)
- Numbers: Use decimal point, not comma (e.g. 75.5 not 75,5)
- Percentages: Enter as a number 0โ100 (e.g. 16 for 16%)
Import limits
In Excel, use File โ Save As and choose "CSV UTF-8 (Comma delimited)" โ not "CSV (Comma delimited)". The Windows-1252 encoding causes errors on special characters.
After import
Imported passports are created as drafts. Review them in the Passports list and activate each one individually, or use Batch Submit from the Passports list to activate multiple at once.
Supply chain actors cannot be imported via CSV โ they must be added individually from the passport detail page.
