Entries in Order → Header data

1. In the order, the vessel number must be drawn from the shipping list so that the relevant data, such as flag, is also reported to U.S. Customs.

2. Please ensure to always use the 5-digit UN location codes since these are the only codes transmitted to US customs.

3. Please enter the port of loading and port of discharge with the UN location code in the order. These details are automatically accepted into AMS and cannot be changed from there.

Enter INCOMING vessel

When registering for the AMS, the vessel that arrives in the USA must be transferred.

• Example:
  Ship 1 sails from Hamburg to Bilbao; Ship 2 sails from Bilbao to Chicago.
  → The registration must be made with ship 2. Ship 1 is mentioned in the B / L.

• Ship 2 is now transmitted in the AMS registration if it is filled in the order.

Hint

To do this, fields can be added via the mask editor:

• Vessel name (eakopf_t.schiff2_name2)

• IMO (eakopf_t.schiff2_imo_code)

• Voyage no. (eakopf_t.reise2_nr)

• Call sign (eakopf_t.schiff2_rufzeichen)

• Departure date for this Transhipment = eakopf_t.gp_abf_tship_dat

If these fields are not filled, the data will be transferred as before.

Entries in Order → Description of goods
