0. INTRODUCTION

This specification provides the definition of the Arrival notice message (IFTMAN) to be used in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners, involved in administration, commerce and transport.


1. SCOPE

This paper provides the definition of the Arrival Notice Message to be used in fulfilling the requirements of trading partners in the transport chain worldwide, in the interchange of cargo and transport related information using Electronic Data Interchange (EDI).

This message is a single consignment based message, being aligned with other single consignment based messages such as the booking (IFTMBP, IFTMBF and IFTMBC) and instruction messages (IFTMIN and IFTMCS). The single consignment based messages can be used by all modes of transport for the forwarding and transport of goods from any origin to any destination, regardless of route or prevailing commercial practice. These messages are suitable for the arrangement of the transport of goods between all parties to the movement of the consignment (including the consignor/shipper and consignee as well as the forwarders, brokers, and carriers involved) as well as providing the information necessary to perform that transport and delivery of the goods. They should be used in the same way by each mode of transport when the requirements are common even if functionally similar information is known by different names.


1.1. Functional Definition

A message from the party providing forwarding and/or transport services to the party such as has been indicated in the contract, giving notice and details of the arrival of the consignment.


1.2. Field of Application

This message may be applied for both national and international trade. It is based on universal practice and is not dependent on the type of business or industry.


1.3. Principles

The notify party might be the consignee or his agent or the customs broker depending on the custom of the port or the conditions in the contract.

  • A consignment may contain several goods items.
  • Goods items may or may not be containerized.
  • A goods item may be transported in one or more containers, and a single container may contain one or more goods items.
  • One goods item may be related to one or more customs tariff codes.
  • Goods items related to one customs tariff code may be carried in one or more containers.
  • Goods items may reflect either the contractual or operational description of the goods.
  • Equipment may have other types of equipment attached to it, e.g. a temperature control unit attached to a container.
  • Equipment and/or goods items may be attached to or transported on another load or transport device, which as such may be attached to or transported on yet another load or transport device, e.g. a container on a chassis on a rail-car.
  • Transport devices, which have the ability of powered movement on their own, are specified in the transport details group. Other load or transport devices are specified as equipment.
  • The expression of packaging for goods items can be expressed at up to three levels.

A number of generic transport terms are used in this specification, to be described as:

  • MODE OF TRANSPORT: The method of transport used for the conveyance of goods or persons, e.g. by rail, by road, by sea.
  • MEANS OF TRANSPORT: The vehicle used for the transport of goods or persons, e.g. aircraft, truck, vessel.
  • TYPE OF MEANS OF TRANSPORT: The type of vehicle used in the transport process, e.g. wide body, tank truck, passenger vessel.
  • EQUIPMENT: Material resources necessary to facilitate the transport and handling of cargo. Transport equipment does under the given circumstances not have the ability to move by its own propulsion (e.g. sea container, trailer, unit load device, pallet).
  • TYPE OF EQUIPMENT: The type of material used, e.g. 40 feet container, four way pallet, mafi trailer.
