**Note 1**

IATA issues numeric prefixes (3N). Non-IATA prefixes in the following
formats are valid:

> **AAA** -- (ICAO 3-letter code)
>
> **ANN** -- (CBP assigned 3-character carrier code referenced in the
> CBP ACS carrier record (mode of transport code 40 (air) established
> for an air carrier not qualifying for an International Civil Aviation
> Organization (ICAO) approved 3-letter airline designator).

**Note 2**

Air carriers unable to meet IATA requirements for a numeric IATA Prefix
code may assign any 8-digit AWB serial number to a non-IATA AWB prefix
(Note 1) to identify shipments arriving via air. A non-IATA prefix and
AWB serial number may not be used as an In-Bond control number. Air
carriers that have obtained a numeric IATA prefix may assigned any
8-digit AWB serial number to identify shipments of company material,
international mail shipments (CBP Directive 3220-004, Manifesting of
International Mail by Air Carriers), or post-entered shipments arriving
via air (non-revenue shipments subject to CBP manifest regulations).
Current CBP regulations require that an air waybill number must not be
reused for a period of one year after issuance.

**Note 3**

To report either Consolidation Identifier or a HAWB Number.

**Note 4**

Report the full House air waybill identifier as printed on the hard copy
document. This includes alpha characters preceding or contained within
the House-level shipment identification.

**Note 5**

The House-level Package Tracking Identifier transmitted to Air AMS is
included in subsequent FSN messages sent from CBP.

AWB serial number may not be used as an In-Bond control number. Air
carriers that have obtained a numeric IATA prefix may assign any 8-digit
AWB serial number to identify shipments of company material,
international mail shipments, (CBP Directive 3220-004, Manifesting of
International Mail by Air Carrier), or post-entered shipments arriving
via air (non-revenue shipments subject to CBP manifest regulations).

######### Note 3

To specify either Part Arrival Reference or HAWB Number.

**Note 4**

To specify a Part Arrival Reference of a shipment identified to the
House air waybill level. An FSQ or FSC message reporting an 'M' in this
field indicates a Part Arrival Reference (not a Consolidation
Indicator).

**Note 1**

Do not use a 2-character code ending in a numeric value (example: A1) in
any Air AMS message. Until the carrier is able to obtain its own
ICAO-issued 3-character code or 2-character code ending in an alpha
character, CBP assigns a 3-character air carrier code (format 'ann')
required for validation of arriving flight detail.

**Note 2**

The part arrival reference character (example "A") is assigned at the
shipment level to the arriving flight detail (example
"ARR/XXX123/14FEB-A/B1/K1"). If an air waybill record containing a part
arrival reference character is cancelled, the same reference character
should not be reassigned until the remaining alpha codes are exhausted.
For example, if a part "A" is cancelled, the next available character
should be used instead of "A." The same part arrival reference character
should be reused only to re-manifest the air waybill record referencing
the same flight that was cancelled in error.

**Note 1**

An FSC message referencing FSC status code "O2" and "TXT/BILL IS SPLIT"
does not include the line identifier ARR to report the part arrival
flight data and the boarded piece count. Continuation lines will contain
the Part Arrival Reference, arriving flight, and boarded piece count
associated to each active AMS waybill record. Submit an FSQ message to
AMS with a part arrival reference following the air waybill number to
receive specific information related to the part arrival manifest record
on file in AMS. The ARR line identifier is mandatory for FSN, FSI, FRX,
FXX and other FSC messages.

**Note 2**

Air AMS messages identified by FSC, FSN and FSI (received from AMS)

**Note 1**

Supported for Express Consignment message types FXI or FXC, simple
(non-consolidated) and master (consolidated) air waybill level).

**Note 2**

This code identifies the Air AMS participant electing to supply
additional data for an air waybill record. The incoming air carrier must
transmit cargo information for all associated house air waybills unless
the other party electronically transmits this information directly to
CBP. Transmissions that include an unrecognized code will result in an
error message.

**Note 3**

The Agent code specified at the Master air waybill level applies to the
House air waybill level for House air waybills referencing the same
arriving flight as the associated Master air waybill. An Agent code
received with arrival detail including a Part Arrival Reference is not
applied by AMS to other Part Arrival air waybill record(s) of the same
air waybill number. Per Trade Act of 2002 -- Final Rule, {...since the
Air Automated Manifest System (Air AMS) requires a 7-character code to
identify parties transmitting house air waybill level information, ABI
filers electing to transmit such advance cargo data will be assigned
codes in the format "BCBPXXX", where, in place of the "XXX", the ABI
filer would insert its own unique 3-character ABI filer code.}

**Note 1**

A TRN line may be used to request authorization to transfer (Permit to
Transfer) a shipment from the custody of the importing carrier at the
port of arrival to another bonded carrier or the premises of a bonded
deconsolidator. A TRN line may also be used to request authorization to
export a shipment from the port of arrival (Immediate Export) or
transport a shipment to another CBP port for further disposition
(Immediate Transportation) or exportation (Transportation and
Exportation.)

**Note 2**

When the CBP Control airport of destination is the same as the airport
of arrival as specified in the cargo control line or the permit to
proceed destination airport as specified in the waybill line (for
shipments travelling under the provisions of a permit to proceed) and
this identifier is "D", there is no in-bond authorization, however
omission of the onward carrier code requires inclusion of a separator
slant (in addition to the separator slant following the
Domestic/International Identifier) (see Note 3) preceding the
destination bonded premises identifier.

A TRN/000 must be sent to cancel an existing in-bond/destination shed
transfer before a replacement will be accepted for the existing
in-bond/destination shed transfer. TRN/000 cancels only the last TRN
detail in / the event multiple transfers were processed referencing the
same AWB number. In the event an additional in-bond transfer is
requested by the incoming air carrier (or onward air carrier), the
previous in-bond transfer must be reported as concluded via an FSN-ASN3
prior to the request. In the event a destination shed
(deconsolidator/Container Freight Station) of a local transfer requests
an in-bond transfer or another local transfer, the destination shed must
send an FSN-ASN4 prior to the request.

**Note 3**

This separator is required when reporting a bonded premises identifier
even when an onward carrier is not specified.

**Note 4**

Bonded Carrier ID is not required for within port (local) transfer. It
is required for in-bond transfer if the onward carrier is not an air
carrier. It must reference an active Custodial Bond in the Air AMS
database. The originator of the In-bond transfer, by providing CBP Bond
Identification to Air-AMS, acknowledges they have the authority to
obligate the CBP bond reference by the CBP Bond Identification provided.
When an onward carrier is an air carrier, there must be an active
Custodial Bond in the Air AMS database referenced by the onward carrier
code.

The onward carrier code is not required to transfer the shipment to the
terminal facility of another airline or a deconsolidator at the port of
unlading. An onward carrier code is required when a transfer to another
airport is requested by an Air AMS participant other than the importing
Air AMS carrier. The air cabotage law restricts the transportation of
freight between points in the United States by foreign air carriers. If
no onward carrier is specified for an in-bond movement, the importing
carrier will be recorded as the default onward carrier. In the event the
onward air carrier (after reporting in-bond arrival via FSN-ASN3) will
request authorization to transfer an in-bond shipment at the destination
airport to another bonded premises (deconsolidator/CFS FIRMS code, such
transfer detail must include the onward air carrier code and destination
bonded premises identifier.

**Note 5**

Destination Shed: In the case of an in-bond, the default destination
shed is the premises of the importing Air AMS carrier or the onward
carrier (if one is specified) at the destination airport. When
referencing a FIRMS code as the bonded premises identifier (after
receiving authorization to transfer the shipment in-bond via FSN status
code 1D), the FIRMS code specified must be located within the limits of
the CBP port that corresponds to the airport of destination in the TRN
line. When an additional transfer to a new destination shed is
requested, the previous destination shed must send an FSN-ASN4 before
the request is made.

**Note 6**

If a valid CBP 9-digit in-bond control number is not specified as the
in-bond control number and the CBP Control Destination airport is other
than the airport of arrival or permit to proceed destination airport (if
applicable), the in-bond control record will default to the air waybill
number ONLY when the AWB Prefix code is number and the AWB serial number
check digit is valid and there is no prior in-bond record on file
referencing the 11 digit AWB Prefix and Serial number as an in-bond
control number. Non-scheduled and/or air carriers that utilize their
3-character air carrier code as AWB prefix code (because they do not
qualify for an IATA-issued numeric AWB Prefix code) must provide a valid
CBP 9-digit in-bond control number to receive authorization to transfer
cargo to the in-bond carrier. When a 9-digit in-bond control number is
included, it also must have a valid MOD-7 check digit as the final digit
of the number and may not be re-used until ACS has archived the in-bond
control record referencing that number. A 9-digit number is required for
all in-bond requests for house air waybills.

**Note 1**

An Air AMS carrier is responsible for ensuring a flight departure
message (FDM) containing a departure line (DEP) is not transmitted to
AMS until: a) it has confirmed that the flight referenced in the DEP
line has departed from the final foreign airport prior to its arrival in
the United States AND b) the actual GMT liftoff date and time as
reported in the DEP line is not in advance of the current GMT at the
time the FDM message is transmitted to Air AMS. The Air AMS carrier is
responsible for ensuring that flight departure message content is NOT
automatically reporting a scheduled date and time of departure as
indicated in a published table of scheduled flights destined to a U.S.
airport. The Air AMS carrier must use the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) at
the time of departure from the foreign airport to report the liftoff
date and liftoff time. In the event the GMT date and time of Air AMS FDM
processing precedes the GMT liftoff date and time received in the DEP
line, the air carrier will receive a Freight Error Report (FER) message
referencing air waybill number 000-YYYYMMDD-XXXNNNNA, where YYYY is the
numeric current year, MMDD is the numeric schedule arrival month and
day, XXX is the 3-alpha ICAO-approved airline code associated to flight
identification with a 2-character IATA airline code ending in alpha
character or CBP-assigned 3-character (ann) airline code and NNNNA is
the normalized four-digit number and optional alpha character. Rejection
of FDM will delay AMS transmission of ALL FSN referencing the FDM DEP
flight identification (corresponding to the ARR flight identification
received with air waybill manifest data) until a valid FDM is received
or CBP staff updates the flight record with actual date and time of
arrival.

**Note 2**

When the FDM is being sent by a code sharing carrier, the second
instance of carrier and flight number refers to the actual carrier and
flight number for the aircraft that is carrying the freight for the code
sharing carrier.

**Note 1**

This line is not sent following FSC codes 00, 01, 03, 05, 06, and 10.
Presence of a second TXT/MASTER AWB confirms that shipments may be
manifested referencing a house bill number.

**Note 2**

The information line may be repeated a total of ten times.

"BILL IS SPLIT" and Total piece count (following FSC code 02); FSQ bill
number was sent without Part Arrival Reference; subsequent continuation
line(s) report Part Arrival Reference, arrival flight data and boarded
piece count on file in Air AMS. Missing message line identifier are
reported following FSC/04. Following FSC code 07 the following
conditions are returned (if applicable):

> NO ENTRY FILED
>
> ENTRY XXX-XXXXXXXX FILED, EXAM COMPLETE
>
> ENTRY FOR LESS THAN WBL QTY
>
> MULTIPLE ENTRIES ON FILE
>
> ACTIVE CBP HOLD
>
> ACTIVE AGRICULTURE HOLD
>
> ACTIVE OTHER AGENCY HOLD

Following FSC code 08 these abbreviations will be used:

> ARR -- (airport of first arrival in U.S.) - followed by a 3 alpha
> airport code.
>
> PTP -- (Permit-to-Proceed destination, if applicable) - followed by a
> 3 alpha airport code.
>
> INB -- (Transferred -- in-bond between two U.S. post) - Followed by
> two 3 alpha airport codes. First code represents the in-bond origin
> port; the second represents the in-bond destination port. If followed
> by an -- A, the segment has been arrived at the destination. If
> followed by an -- E, it has been both arrived and exported.

FSC code 10 is generated in response to an FSQ/05 request. FSC code 10
is also generated when a house air waybill has been received from a
carrier, a CBP ABI entry filer-forwarder or deconsolidator (per Trade
Act of 2002, Final Rule re: 19 USC 122.48a (c)(1) Other filer, (i) --
(iv) and an associated master air waybill exists. (If a master air
waybill does not exist, the FSC code 10 is generated when the associated
master air waybill is received.) In this latter case, the house air
waybill information in the FSC code 10 message is sent to the originator
of the house air waybill and the originator of the master air waybill.
If the originator of the house air waybill is a carrier, the FSC code 10
message is sent to the nominated agent, if there is one, in addition to
the originator of the house air waybill.

Following FSC code 10 the following information is reported via the
respective message line format(s): the example shown is for illustrative
purposes only and does not represent all possible message lines. Note:
The second TRN is indicative of a subsequent amendment message sent to
request local transfer authorization after arrival of the in-bond
shipment at the CBP Control Destination airport.
