(1) NACCS Upgrade Project (Purpose and Notification)<Purpose>
For further enhancement of system functions, NACCS is upgraded every 8 years. And the next upgrade will
be implemented in October 2017. There are many points of modification mainly focused on accuracy andquality of information and security enhancement. Improvement of AFR procedures composes a part ofobjects of this Upgrade.

<Notification>
Please be advised that each Service Provider has to complete system modification responding to thefollowing to be changed items.
① Mandatory items (change the settings of SP’s system)
・EDI Specifications- IP address and Domain name of NACCS new servers- NACCS will be in charge of system switching from NACCS main server to its backup server(In other words, SP will not have to redirect by themselves for using NACCS backup server）- Maximum length of NACCS-EDI message will be extended from 500 KB to 700 KB.

・Input/Output Fields of AFR procedures(For example, “Importer/Exporter Code” will be changed from 12 to 17 digit. )→ When change of setting for above items are not completed, transmit and receive of data
will be impossible!
② Items for modification as needed・ Access Lines for NACCS
・ SP’s passwords for connecting to NACCS
Present: 1 to 8 digit
After upgrade: 6 to 8 digit characters consist of single byte CAPITAL alphabets (A to Z) and single byte
numbers (0 to 9). A password should contain at least one single byte CAPITAL alphabet
and one single byte number respectively.

(4) ② Simplify correcting method of Vessel Information
Background
When Vessel Information is changed (because of transship etc.) before the Vessel arrives at ports of Japan, Filer of M(O)B/L and
HB/L have to Re-file with new Vessel Information.
Under the current operation, there is no Procedure Code for modifying Vessel Information by single transaction.
Therefore, the Filer have to do plural AMR(CMR)/AHR(CHR) as needed and it often takes much time.
New Procedure Code “CMV”（１）Simplify correcting method of Vessel Information
Add new Procedure “CMV” that enables the Filer to modify*1 Vessel Information per Carrier or the Port of Cargo Discharge in
one transaction. And the Filer can select the coverage of the B/L: “all related B/L” or “some B/L specified in CMV”*2.
※Please be advised that Re-filing by AMR/CMR/AHR/CHR are still available.

＜Target B/L and notes＞~Image (Items of CMV)~① When the implementer of CMV is the filer of M (O) B/L(i) Target B/L

(ii) Notes- This modification is regarded as Re-filing (common point)- “Advance Filing time” will be replaced by the time when the system received
this CMV (common point)- ATD for the Vessel registered as “new vessel” through CMV will be required- If this ATD is already done before CMV, Discrepancy Information (overdue)
will be outputted to the Filer when CMV is done

- This modification is regarded as Re-filing (common point)- “Advance Filing time” will be replaced by the time when the system received
this CMV (common point)- House END has to be registered again by AHR (when before ATD) or CHR(when after ATD)(ⅰ) If the Filer enter here any B/L Numbers (100 at most), only these specified B/Lwill be the subject of correction.
(ⅱ) When no information is inputted here, all relevant B/L will be the subject of CMV.

Background
Although new Procedure Code “CMV” will simplify correction of Vessel Information, first of all, it is hard for NVOCC to be aware of
new Vessel Information (after transship etc.) accurately by the due of Filing.
Therefore NVOCCs often fail to Re-file AHR (CHR) with new Vessel Information, and hence receive Discrepancy Information on“vessel information” and “Departure time registration”.

Add new Input item to AHR（２）Simplify Re-filing on House B/L Numbers caused by Vessel information change
New Conditional Input item “Vessel Information Change Identifier” will be added to AHR/CHR.
When “Y” is inputted in this item, the system will automatically refer to Vessel Information of relevant MB/L and Discrepancy status of
Vessel Information will be solved.
*Please note that MB/L Number must be entered accurately for reference function.

Background
When the Filer of AMR notice that some information the Filer registered (other than Vessel Information and B/L Number *1 ) iswrong, the Filer can not correct the information if ATD is already done.
In such cases, the Filer have to wait until Prior Notification will be sent from Japan customs in order to do CMR (Correction/Deletion).

(4) ⑤ New Input items for ”the reason of deletion”
Background
When filed information is deleted by CMR/CHR, Japan customs officers could not comprehend the reason for deletion.

New items
Add 2 new Input Items “Reason for deletion Code” and “Reason for Deletion (alphanumeric 210 digit)” to CMR/CHR.
When Function Type Code of CMR/CHR is “1: Deletion”, “Reason for deletion Code” must be entered.
<Code List>
・“１：Cancellation of loading(・“２：Cancellation of unloading ※For following domestic Procedures only.)
・“３：Change of B/L Number
・“４：Misregistration
・“５：Other reasons※When 5th code “Other reasons” is chosen, Filers of CMR/CHR must input “Reason for deletion (alphanumeric 210 digit)” as well.

Background
Under the current operation, CHR (“Correction”) can not correct relevant “MB/L Number”. Therefore Filer had to delete registered information
at first by CHR (“Delete”) and then do AHR/CHR (“Add”) again for registering accurate information.

New function
CHR (“Correction”) will be enabled to correct relevant MB/L Number without deleting originally filed information.

Background
Even if Filers have done AMR/AHR by the deadline, the B/L Numbers are sometimes changed after ATD due to “Separate, Combine

Procedures done bydomestic NACCS users【Conditions for doing BLL】
① Original B/L Number is filed by AMR(CMR)/AHR(CHR) and is not deleted by CMR/CHR.
→ BLL is a procedure to report relationship between plural B/L numbers which have already been registered to NACCS DB.
Thus all target B/Ls for BLL must exist inside NACCS DB.
② If Prior Notification is sent to Original B/L Number or its relevant HB/L Number (if any), it must be cancelled before
doing BLL.
→ Any following procedures can not be done for the B/L number registered as “Original B/L number”. (Only query procedure
is possible.)
Therefore, when Prior Notification is registered to the original B/L number, it must be cancelled by following Customs
indications before doing BLL.
③ Vessel Information (Vessel Code, Carrier Code, Voyage number and Port of loading) of all B/L Numbers for BLL is identical.
→ When vessel information is changed, Re-filing (with new B/L number) has to be made. And Advance Filing is done in theunit of vessel.

(4) ⑨ Add new information on ”DNU”
Background
When a ”Prior Notification of Risk Assessment Result (DNU)” is issued for a specific MB/L, the Carrier cannot see how to deal with it

・DMF has been done before cancelling Prior Notification of the related HB/L
(DNU will be outputted to both Registrant of DMF and Filer of AMR)
・AHR was filed before AMR, and this AMR was done before cancelling Prior Notification of that AHR(DNU will be outputted to Filer of AMR)
New information

The following information will be added on “DNU”~Image (Items of DNU)~
Existing items
・MB/L Number
・Vessel informationetc.

New information on causal HB/L of DNU
・HB/L Number
・Notification Code・Direction from Japan customs
・Cancellation or Deletion of Prior Notification
