0. INTRODUCTIONThis 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. SCOPEThis 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 DefinitionA 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 ApplicationThe Arrival notice message may be used for both national and international applications. It is based on universal practice related to administration, commerce and transport, and is not dependent on the type of business or industry. 1.3. PrinciplesThe 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 number of generic transport terms are used in this specification, to be described as:
