A message to be used for consolidation purposes, from a party arranging forwarding and transport services to the party for which the transport of the consolidated cargo is destined UNH - Service element to uniquely identify the message. Example: Message envelope number "1357924680", type "IFCSUM", UN/Edifact directory "D97A" UNH+1357924680+IFCSUM:D:97A:UN' Unique message reference assigned by the sender. Number assigned by the transmitter. It will not be used for business purposes. It is suggested to follow the format "CCCCCCAAAASSSS" where - CCCCCC user code - AAAA year (4-digit) - SSSSS sequential number For backward compatibility, this element will be processed for messeges that are received from users of the existent Port of Lisbon implementation. The contents of this element will be subject to the rules and interpretation applicable to the BGM:1004. Type of message assigned by its control agency Forwarding and consolidation summary message Version number of the message type Draft Version/UN/EDIFACT Directory Release number within the current message type version number Release 1997 - A Code identifying the agency controlling the specification, maintenance and publication of the message type UN/ECE/TRADE/WP.4 Code, assigned by the association responsible for the design and maintenance of the message type concerned, that further identifies the message BGM - Element to indicate the beginning of the message and transmit the identifying number, date, type and function. Example: Manifest "785"; message number: "23451999"; original: "9" BGM+785+23451999+9' Document/Message identifier name, coded Cargo manifest. Listing of goods comprising the cargo carried in a means of transport or in a transport-unit. The cargo manifest gives the commercial particulars of the goods, such as transport document numbers, consignors, consignees, shipping marks, number and kind of packages and descriptions and quantities of the goods. Cargo declaration (departure). Generic term, sometimes referred to as Freight declaration, applied to the documents providing the particulars required by the Customs concerning the cargo (freight) carried by commercial means of transport (CCC). Only provided for backward compatibility. It will be treated like code "785"? Reference number assigned to the document/message by the issuer. Send the identification of the message. Only provided for backward compatibility. This element can be used by the users of the Port of Lisbon current implementation to send the document (manifest) number. The differences between the Port of Lisbon project and this implementation are: - the document number must be sent in SG1:RFF:1154, having SG1:RFF:1153 with AFB; Code indicating the function of the message. Cancellation.Cancel an already sent manifest. If the customs have already activated the customs process, the shipping agent has to ask customs permission to do it. A manifest cannot be cancelled in the following situations: a) at least one of its transport documents is in the state of "closed" (fechado) for the Port Authority, since it originates invoices and statistical data; b) at least one transport equipment or one goods item referred in one of its transport documents was subject to a physical movement. This applies to whole document, so information in group 19 will not be processed. Addition Message containing items (e.g. line items, goods items, Customs items, equipment items) to be added to a previously sent message. Add consignment document to an already sent manifest. If the manifest is a final manifest then this addition is considered customs additional cargo, execpt if the added documents resulted form an unfolding (desdobramento) process. For this particular case see notes in next FTX segment. If the manifest was already subject to an invoice process by the Port Authority, this function will generate "work to do" since the following documents might be missing: a) discharge/loading report; b) invoice for the added transport document. In group 19 send only the information related to the consignment to be added. Deletion.Remove consignment document. If the customs have already activated the customs process or this specific consignment document is already treated by customs, the shipping agent has to ask customs permission to do it. The removal operation cannot be executed in the following situations: a) at least one of the transport documents to be removed is in the state of "closed" (fechado) for the Port Authority since it originates invoices and statistical data; b) at least one transport equipment or one goods, item referred in one of the transport documents to be removed was subject to a physical movement. In group 19 send only the information related to the consignment to be deleted. Change.Change a consignment document. If customs had already activated the customs process, or this specific consignment document is already treated by customs, the shipping agent has to ask customs permission to do it. The change operation cannot be executed in the following situations: a) at least one of the transport documents to be changed is in the state of "closed" (fechado) for the Port Authority since it originates invoices and statistical data; b) at least one transport equipment or one goods, item referred in one of the transport documents to be changed was subject to a physical movement. In group 19 send only the information related to the consignment to be changed. Replace. This function replaces the manifest as if it were two messages: delete and create a new one. If the customs have already activated the customs process, the shipping agent has to ask customs permission to do it. The substitution operation cannot be executed in the following situations: a) at least one of the transport documents is in the state of "closed" (fechado) for the Port Auhtority since it originates invoices and statistical data; b) at least one transport equipment or one goods, item referred in one of the transport documents was subject to a physical movement. original. Only can be used if it's the first message for this specific document (manifest). Final Transmission. This code declares the document as closed. This is, no more transport documents will be included in the manifest. Only after the good integration of this message in the Customs system, certain Customs procedures will be activated. It is the date of this message that will be considered as the date of delivery of the document. After a message with this function is sent, the usage of all other functions will be processed like "rectification" according to Customs' definition. Consequently they will be subject to approval or refusal from Customs. This applies to whole document, so information in group 19 will not be processed. Change in heading section. This function allows the correction/change of information at document header level. Information in group 19 will not be processed. Provisional.Only provided for backward compatibility. It wil be treated like "9"?. Definitive. Only provided for backward compatibility. It wil be treated like "9"?. DTM - Element to indicate the date/time of the document/message Document/message date/time Date/time when a document/message is issued. This may include auhentication Transmission date/time of the document The value of a date, a date and a tiem, a time or a period, in a specified representation. According with UN/ECE Recommendation No 7. Specification of the representation of a date, date and time or a period CCYYMMDDHHMM Calendar dae including time in minutes: C= Century Y= Year M= Month D= Day H= Hour M= Minutes CCYYMMDDHHMMZZZ Calendar dae including time in minutes: C= Century Y= Year M= Month D= Day H= Hour M= Minutes Z= Time zone FTX - The use of this segment allows to have a 350-character space for purpose of free information concerning Observation related to the Manifest as a whole. If the manifest is being changed (message function is 2,3 or 4) then the reason must be given in this segment. In this case use code 'AAI' in DE:4451. If the message is providing documents of transport that resulted from an unfolding process (desdobramento), then use code 'ABG' in DE:4451 with the string DESDOBRAR/UNFOLD in the first element 4440 of C108. Example: "Goods with no special conditionings" FTX+AAI+++GOODS WITH NO SPECIAL CONDITIONINGS' Example: "The Transport documents in this message resulted from an unfolding process" FTX+ABG+++DESDOBRAR/UNFOLD' In the APL implementation guideline, this segment was also used by the vessel agent to identify the other agents making part of the pool and that were carrying cargo in the vessel. This function will be performed in the "Processo de Meio de Transport" application system. So, information related with this function will be ignored. Code specifying the subject of the free text General information Agent to sent the manifest. Only provided for backward compatibility. Information in the segment will be ignored Instructions or information about partial shipment(s) CNT - A segment to specify totals of the consolidation (e.g. total number of equipment, total number of consignments, total gross weight and/or dimensions of the whole consolidation etc.). To inform the number of consignments in the message. Example: 123 consignments CNT+10:123' For backward compatibility, more than one occurrence is accepted, but information will be ignored. Determines the source data elements which form the basis for the 6066 control value Total number of consignements Value obtained from summing the values specified by the control qualifier throughout the message (hash total) RFF - A group of segments containing references and constants which apply to the entire message. This group is used to send the five possible references allowed at header level: the Port Authority vessel call Id, the Customs vessel call Id (known as "Contramarca"), the manifest Id given by the carrier/agent, a reference to a previous message and the manifest Id given by the Port Authority (this last reference is only to be used in the communication between the Port Authority and Customs). The group must be sent the number of times needed to send all the references the carrier/agent is aware at the moment it sends the document. At least the manifest Id (RFF:C506:1153='AFB') and Port Authority vessel call Id (RFF:C506:1153='ATZ') must be sent by the shipping agent or its representative. This means that the group must occur twice, at least. In the case of the communication between the Port Authority and Customs, a third occurence must exist to send the manifest Id given by the Port Authority (RFF:1153='ACD'). The Customs vessel call Id may be sent when known or was activated. In this case there is no need to send information in DTM segment. In case the shipping agent hasn't provided the Customs vessel call Id, the Port Authority must include it in the message in case this Id has been provided for the vessel call in question. The reference to a previous message (RFF:1153 is ACW) is only sent when the message function, stated in BGM:1225, is not '9' (or '46' or '47' for compatibility reasons) or is '2' but resulting from an unfolding (desdobramento) process. The goal behind this usage is to provide a way to keep the correct chronological sequence of different messages related with the same document synchronized with the sender. This usage was based on ITIGG Recommendation D4/G4. When qualifiers 'ACW', 'AFB' or 'ACD' are used, then the segment DTM in this group must be sent. For qualifier 'ACW' in segment RFF, the date in segment DTM in this group must be the one that was present in segment DTM at top level of the previous message. For qualifier 'AFB' in segment RFF, the date in segment DTM in this group corresponds to the date of the document. In other words, the manifest date. It is admissible this date to be the same as the date in segment DTM at the top level, but it cannot be more recent. The reference number by which the issuer knows the document (manifest) and the respective date, must be unchangeable and unique for each issuer, independently of the number of messages associated with the document (manifest). When the reference is Customs vessel process id (RFF:C506:1153='AFM'), then the reference value in DE:1154 must have the format defined by Customs. The current format is - UN/Locode: 5 characters - customs office code: 3 digits - mode of transport code (UN/CEFACT Trade Facilitation Recommendation 19 - Codes for Modes of Transport): 1 digit - year: 4 digits - sequential number: 6 digits left padded with zeros Please note that this format is subject to changes in the future. When the reference is the Port Authority vessel call Id (RFF:C506:1153='ATZ'), then in each the following Ports, the suffixes apply to the reference: - Port of Leixões: ESC - Port of Lisbon: LIS - Port of Sines: SIN Example: Manifest Id given by the carrier/agent: NBLISD001 RFF+AFB:NBLISD001' Example: Lisbon's vessel call: LIS200300159 RFF+ATZ:LIS200300159' Example: Customs vessel process id (Contramarca) PTLIS07512004000107 RFF+AFM:PTLIS07512004000107' Code giving specific meaning to a reference element or a reference number Originator's reference. Only provided for backward compatibility. It will be treated like code "AFB"? Reference number provided in addition to another given reference. This reference corresponds to the identification given by the Port Authority to a manifest received electronically or created manually in the Port Authority system through on-line forms. To be used only in the communication between the Port Authority and Customs. Reference number to a previous message. This id is what appeared in BGM:C106:1004 of a previous message. Cargo manifest number. The reference by which the carrier/agent knows this manifest. Secondary customs reference. The reference is the Customs vessel call Id (known as "Contramarca"). Ship's stay reference number. The reference is the Port Authority vessel call Id. This number is provided by the Port Authority Information System. Voyage number. Only provided for backward compatibility. It will be treated like code "ATZ" Identification number. If 1153 is 'ATZ', the reference will be checked against the information about the agent associated with the vessel call provided to the Port Authority (according with the procedures of "Processo Meio Transporte"). DTM - Element to indicate the date/time relating to the reference. The complete meaning of this date depende of the type of reference in previous RFF segment, state in RFF:C506:1153 is in (ACW, AFB). Example: Date/time of the reference: "2003/10/08 10:15"? DTM+171:200310081015:103’ Example: Date/time of the reference: "2003/10/08 – 15:25 UTC+3"?. Attention that in this case the defined escape character must be used in the date/time format, if the time zone is positive in relation to GMT. If the escape character is "?"? then DTM+171:200310081525?+03:303’ Code giving specific meaning to a date, time or period Reference date/time Date/time on which the reference was issued The value of a date, a date and a time, a time or a period, in a specified representation. According with UN/ECE Recommendation Nº7 Specification of the representation of a date, date and time or a period CCYYMMDDHHMM Calendar dae including time in minutes: C= Century Y= Year M= Month D= Day H= Hour M= Minutes CCYYMMDDHHMMZZZ Calendar dae including time in minutes: C= Century Y= Year M= Month D= Day H= Hour M= Minutes Z= Time zone GOR - An element to give information about the current customs procedure under which the transport is moving or to indicate applicable governmental procedures to import, export and transit of the voyage, flight or consolidation. This group is to state the type of manifest. Its usage replaces the need to use different codes in BGM:1001 (see backward compatibility comments in the GOR segment). The second usage is applied only to backward compatibility. Relating to the first function, the following notes shall be considered. If the document is a Discharge Manifest, then BGM:1001='785' and GOR:8323='2' (see notes for backward compatibility). If the document is a Loading Manifest, then BGM:1001='785' and GOR:8323='1' (see notes of backward compatibility). If the document is related to cargo In Transit, then BGM:1004='785' and GOR:8323='3' (see notes of backward compatibility). Note, the transit manifest can be delivered to Customs on paper while EU legislation does not oblige to an electronic transmission. Example: Export manifest GOR+1+5' In APL implementation guideline, the distinction between Loading and Discharge documents where given by the usage of code "833"? in BGM:1001. For backward compatibility the process will be supported with the partners that currently use the APL system. The following equivalencies apply: - APL implementation BGM:1001="?833"? and GOR:8323="?1"? is equivalent to BGM:1001="?785"? and GOR:8323="?1"? in the new implementation. - APL implementation BGM:1001="?785"? and GOR:8323="?2"? is equivalent to BGM:1001="?785"? and GOR:8323="?2"? in the new implementation. Code indicating the type of movement of the goods Export. Note that this term is understood in the wider context of outbound of goods and not under the strict customs definition. Import. Note that this term is understood in the wider context of inbound of goods and not under the strict customs definition. Transit.Note that this term is understood in the wider context of goods that remain on board the vessel. Simplified Transit Procedure not admitted. Only provided for backward compatibility. Information in this segment will be ignored. Simplified Transit Procedure Level 1 article 447, EC regulation no. 2454/93 of the Commission. Only provided for backward compatibility. Information in this segment will be ignored. Simplified Transit Procedure Level 2 article 448, EC regulation no. 2454/93 of the Comission. Only provided for backward compatibility. Information in this segment will be ignored. Indicates which government agency is involved Customs NAD - An element to identify the party's name and contacts. This group is used to identify the entities related with the whole manifest. The identification of the Message Sender (MS), Message Receiver (MR), Customs office (CM) and the Carrier (CA) must be sent. The others are optional. The identification of the Customs office was included since some ports have areas under jurisdiction of different Customs office. So the agent shall identify to which office is declaring the cargo. For this information, send code 'CM' in NAD:3035. The Carrier identification corresponds to the carrier identified in the first message related with the manifest, this is, the message with function '9' in BGM:1225. Note that when the message has the function 'Original' (BGM:1225='9') the carrier identified here must be the same carrier identified in all transport documents in the message, and all the transport documents must be related to the same carrier. The inclusion of the message sender (NAD:3035='MS') and the message receiver (NAD:3035='MR') is to separate the business level from the practical issues. For instance, allow that the entity that is sending the document can be different from the one which is the originator of the document. The same applies to the receiver versus the destination. The information about the transport documents can only be sent by the carrier's agent, cargo agent or by a legal Declarant's agent/representative. In these cases, information of the cargo agent on the CNI section must match with the information of this group (only the information of one carrier agent or cargo agent can be sent). In the communication between the Shipping Agents and the Port Auhtorities, the Message Receiver (MR) is the Port Authority. In this case the receiver is the Port of Leixões or the Port of Lisbon, then it can be identified by the NIF or by the EAN of the corresponding Port Authority. In the communication between the Port Authority and Customs, the receiver is the Customs identified by Customs Office Identification Code. If NAD:3035='CA' then do not use DE:3055 and the identification placed in DE:3039 must be preeceded by the ISO country code (2 digit) corresponding to the nationality of the carrier. In DE:1131 use the appropriate code that correctly identifies the type of number given to the Portuguese Customs at the moment of the protocol signature. Today several entities have EAN codes. When the receiver or the sender is one of this entities, the respective code can be used. In this case DE:1131 shall not be used and DE:3055 must be '9'. For the following Port Authoroties, these codes apply: Port Authority of Leixões: 5600000017340 Port Authority of Lisbon: 5600000009710 When identifying a Customs Office use code '113' in DE:1131 and code '155' in DE:3055. When identifying a Portuguese entity use code '167' in DE:1131 and code '155' in DE:3055, except when the entity is being identified by the EAN code. Example: Declarant's agent/representative with tax number 510042365789. NAD+AE+510042365789:167:155' Example: Manifest to be presented to the customs office of Marítima de Lisboa (Alcantara). NAD+CM+PT000040:113:155' Example: Message recipient is the Port Authority of Leixoes identified by EAN code 5600000017340 NAD+MR+5600000017340::9' Example: Greek carrier identified by VAT number 192384 NAD+CA+GR192384:52' Code giving a specific meaning to a party Declarant's agent/representative Customs Consignee of vessel Description to be provided. Only provided for backward compatibility. It will be treated like code 'CA'. Message recipient. Receiver of the message. Document/message issuer/sender Carrier (3126) Party undertaking or arranging transport of goods between named points. Code identifying a party involved in a transaction. If 3035 in ('AE', 'CG', 'MR', 'MS') send tax payer number. If the message receiver is the Port Authority of Lisbon or Leixões then EAN code can also be used as an identification means of these authorities. If 3035 is 'CM' send code according to list in pages 71-72 of NSTI/NCTS Declara袯 de Tr᭳ito Informatizada - Documento Auxiliar ao Guia de Implementação das Mensagens EDI Versão 3, Anexo - Códigos a Utilizar. If 3035 is 'CG', the identification will be checked against the information about the agent associated with the vessel call provided to the Port Authority (according with the procedures of "Processo Meio Transporte"). Identification of a code list If the entity is being identified by the EAN code, then this element shall not be sent. See example in segment notes. Customs office Tax party identification Other Use this code to state that the id type in DE:3039 is not included in the other types listed in this element and the entity is not Portuguese. Code identifying the agency resopnsible for a code list EAN (International Article Numbering association) PT, Portuguese Customs Unstructured name and address. This entity is required for parners who use the Data Entry application. This composite element is needed when the entity identified in the segment is the message sender (DE:3035 = MS). This way the response can be directed to the appropriate destination. If the Data Entry application is being used, the sent value identifies the Data Entry installation. Otherwise, it identifies a point of origin of the message. Use this element to specify the identification of the Data Entry installation. CTA - A group of elements to identify a party's contacts. Example: Contact Mr. Jos矓ilva. CTA+BF+:JOSE SILVA' Function of the contact (department of person) Service contact Information contact Internal identification code. Only provided for backward compatibility The department of person within an organizational unit COM - Element to hold the communication number of a person or department to whom the it should be addressed.

UN/EDIFACT code list for Data Element 3155. TDT - Group of elements to describe all transport details of the voyage/flight or consolidation, and of all parties involved. The information referred in this segment is to be given to the Port Authority through another process defined by "Processo de Meio de Transporte" specification. The connection between the document (manifest) and the means of transport is made through the Vessel Call Id stated in the SG1:RFF with SG1:RFF:1153 having 'ATZ' qualifier code. Although the information provided in this group will be not inserted into the application, data will be used for validation purposes against the information provided in the "Processo de Meio de Transporte". Example: Maritime main-carriage transport, journey 872N of vessel MING ASIA with IMO number 973146, register in Portugal. TDT+20+872N+1+++++973146:146:54:MING ASIA:PT' Qualifier giving a specific meaning to the transport details Main-carriage transport Unique reference given by the carrier to a certain journey or departure of a means of transport Coded method of transport used for the carriage of the goods.

The IMO number will be checked against the information about the agent associated with the vessel call provided to the Port Authority (according with the procedures of "Processo Meio Transporte"). Identification of a code list Must be used if information is sent in data element 8213. Means of transport identification Code identifying the agency responsible for the code list Must be used if information is sent in data element 8213. IMO (International Maritime Organisation) Vessel's name Coded name of the country where the means of transportation is registered. Use ISO 3166, country code (alphabetic of 2). LOC - A segment indicating relevant locations related to the transport of the consolidation. Example: Next port of call: Leixões LOC+61+PTLEI:139:6' Only provided for backward compatibility.

Specification of the representation of a date, date and time or a period CCYYMMDDHHMM Calendar dae including time in minutes: C= Century Y= Year M= Month D= Day H= Hour M= Minutes CCYYMMDDHHMMZZZ Calendar dae including time in minutes: C= Century Y= Year M= Month D= Day H= Hour M= Minutes Z= Time zone CNI - Element to indicate consignments included in the consolidation using the transport document/message number. See notes in element BGM:1225 to see when this group has to be send. Somehow the transport document must be identified clearly. This implies that unique keys must exist. Being aware that there isn't an "universal" numbering system that would prevent different documents of having the same identification, the identification key must be found by composing some other available data. This way, the goal is achieved but avoiding unnecessary impacts in current business processes. In this framework, the transport documents presented in this segment group, will be identified by a key composed of the following data elements (all present in SG19): - SG26:RFF:1153 - SG26:RFF:1154 - SG26:DTM:2380 - SG34:NAD:3039 Nowadays in the context of shipping, as in business in general, processes are supported by information systems with enough power to deal with a set of data as a single item, without creating additional impact to the user and without affecting the business role of that data. This means that concatenation is not needed and must be avoided. The key must be determined by considering the elements above, but respecting the independent nature of each one. Example: Third consignment in the message. CNI+3' The distinction provided by element 1373 is implemented by the usage of segment group 26. Serial number differentiating each separate consignment included in the consolidation. Must be unique for in each message. Reference number assigned to the document/message by the issuer. Only provided for backward compatibility Code to identify the status of a document/message (Provided for backwards compatibility.

Note that code is presently used by specify that the consignment is related with empty containers. New implementations are advised to use "AEW"?) CNT - An element to specify totals for a consignment Although this segment is optional, it is advised to send it in order to inform the number of packages in the consignment (DE:6069 = 11). In case of bulk cargo the number of volumes is 1. Example: Consigment total gross weight: 21.000 Kg. CNT+7:2100000:KGM' Example: Total quantity of volumes present in the consignment: 20. CNT+11:20' ' For backward compatibility, more then one occurrence is accepted, but information will be ignored Determines the source data elements in the message which forms the basis for ControlValue attribute Total gross weight Total number of packages Total number of equipment Total gross measurement/cube Total number of empty containers Value obtained from summing the values specified by the control qualifier throughout the message (hash total) Indication of the unit of measurement in which the quantity is expressed. UN/CEFACT Trade Facilitation Recommendation 20 - Codes for Units of Measure used in international trade - Annex II. Kilogram. Use when 6069 is '7'. Cubic meter. Use when 6069 is '26'. FTX - An element to give free form information. This segment may be used to send several information related with the transport document. If DE:4451 is 'AAI' then the segment is being used for sending general information. If DE:4451 is 'BLR' then the segment contains remarks present in the transport document. If DE:4451 is 'CHG' then the segment contains the reasons why the transport document is being changed. This usage is required always a transport document is being changed. That is, when the values of BGM:1225 is in {'2','3','4'}. If DE:4451 is 'CUS' then the segment states whether there is an unique transport contract involved in the transportation process or not. If positive, the segment allows to state if the expression "EXPORT" is printed or not in the unique transport contract. Example: For the Port Authority only. In case there are goods exempted under article 20, the article and the item should be indicated here for discount purposes. There will be a codification for goods that are not subject of "TUP Carga" charges. FTX+AAI+++GOODS UNDER ARTICLE 20' Example: The process involves an unique transport contract that does not have the expression "EXPORT" printed. FTX+CUS+++YES:NO' Code specifying the subject of the free text General information Bill of lading remarks. Only provided for backward compatibility. It will be treated like code "BLR"? Transport document remarks Change information Customs declaration information. The usage of this qualifier is to state if there is an unique transport contract involved in this transport process. If this is the case, then this qualifier is also used to state if the unique transport contract has been marked with the "EXPORT" expression or not. LOC - A segment to identify a location applying to the entire consignment. This group is to specify the locations that normally appear in a transport contract (typically a BL). Please note that these places are at contract level and not at operational level. This group is also used to state the place where the transport document was issued. This usage is a Customs requirement. For this purpose, SG24:LOC:3227 must have code '91'. All qualifiers and the associated information must be provided. Example: Place of Receipt: Yantian, Port of Loading: Rotterdam, Port of Discharge: Leixões LOC+88+CNYTN:139:6' LOC+9+NLRTM:139:6' LOC+11+PTLEI:139:6' Next rules apply to goods consignment (CNI:1373='ZZ1' in the APL project) 1. If this is a loading manifest BGM(1001)=833, and 3227=9 then 3225=PTLIS (if the loading port is Lisbon) or PTLEI (if the loading port is LeixÕes) or PTSIE (if the loading port is Sines) and 1131=139 and 3055=6. 2. If this is a discharge manifest BGM(1001)=785 and 3227=11 then 3225=PTLIS (if the discharge port is Lisbon) or PTLEI (if the discharge port is LeixÕes) or PTSIE (if the discharge port is Sines) and 1131=139 and 3055=6 For other consignments (CNI:1373 'ZZ1' in the APL project) 1. In case of B/Ls type ZZ2 or ZZ3 (CNI :1373 = ZZ2 or ZZ3), once the place of origin is unknown,this will be displayed using code ZZZZZ, with literal UNKOWN 2. In case of B/Ls type ZZ3 (CNI :1373 = ZZ3), once the place of load is unknown, this will be displayed using code ZZZZZ, with literal UNKOWN 3. In case of B/Ls type ZZ2 or ZZ3 (CNI :1373 = ZZ2 or ZZ3), once the place of destination is unknown, this will be displayed using code ZZZZZ, with literal UNKOWN In the case of qualifiers '88', '7' and '91' when the LOCODE is unknown, the country and a brief description of the local must be provided. These rules defined this way are for backward compatibility. The rules will be checked but using different segments and elements in new implementations. Code identifying the function of a location Place of departure. Only provided for backward compatibility. It Will be treated like "88"? Place of delivery Place of destination. Only provided for backward compatibility. It Will be treated like "7"? Place/port of loading Place/port of discharge Place of receipt Place of document issue Identification of the of the place/location. UN/ECE Recommendation 16(3rd edition) - UNLOCODE - Codes for ports and other locations (Doc. Ref ECE/TRADE/227) v2003.2. When the Locode is unknown or the location is unknown then place the ISO 2-letter country code. In this case element 3224 must be sent. Identification of a code list Port Country Code identifying the agency responsible for a code list ISO UN/ECE Name of the place/location. Name of the place/location. It is required if the UN/LOCODE in the data element 3225 is omitted and only the ISO country code is sent. If the location is not known then the expression "UNKNOWN" must be used. Only allowed for qualifiers '88', '7' and '91' in element 3227. RFF - A group of elements containing a reference and constants which apply to the entire consignment. This group is used to send any references associated with the consignment, including the document number. At least the references to the following items are expected: - A transport document according to list provided in DE:1153; - Booking (RFF:1153 in 'BN') before the issue of the transport document. After the transport document is issued it is strongly advised that the booking reference is sent in order to relate the booking with the transport document. Special care to the situation where segment group 31 with TDT:8067 is '1' and 8051 in the same segment is '10'. In this case this group must be used to send the reference to the previous transport document (RFF:1153 must be 'ANK') and must be used to send the previous Customs vessel call Id, known as "Contramarca" (RFF:1153 must be 'AFM'). If in this group TDT:8067 is '1' and 8051 in the same segment is '30' then the group can be used to send the reference to the next transport document and the next Customs vessel call Id, if known, using the same qualifiers in RFF:1153. If the message function is different of 2, 9, 46 or 47 then the Customs Summary Declaration Number must be provided by using qualifier ABT in element RFF:1153. If the message function is 2 and the document of transport being sent resulted from an unfolding (desdobramento) process (see notes in FTX segment at message header level), one of the two following references must sent (optionally both). One is the Customs Summary Declaration of the unfolded (desdobrado) document of transport using qualifer ABT in element RFF:1153. The other is the identification of the document of transport that was unfolded (desdobrado) using the qualifier CN in element RFF:1153. A segment to express a reference which applies to the entire consignment such as: the document/message number that is to be updated by this very message (according to data element 1225 Message Function, Coded in segment BGM), booking reference, order number, insurance contract, etc. Being aware the booking is just a reference that has associated the same information that later will be part or the whole of a transport document, it will be treated like a transport document if not associated with one. When associated with a transport document, then the booking is treated just like a reference. All references, except the booking (according to the previous paragraph), must be associated with a transport document. If the document of transport resulted from an unfolding (desdobramento) process, then use qualifier 'CN' in DE:1153 to state that the value in DE:1154 identifies the document of transport that was unfolded (desdobrado) and sent in a previous message. For each occurrence of segment group 19, if there are several references that correspond to transport documents, then the first to be declared will be considered as the identification of the document being presented in by the group. All others will be considered as references. Example: BL number DKLI0200001 RFF+BM:DKLI0200001' Code giving a specific meaning to a reference element or a reference number Goods declaration number. Reference. Waybill number. Document of Transport. Consignee's shipment number. Reference. Declarant's reference number. Reference. Customs declaration number. Reference.

NAD - An element to identify the party's name, address and function This group is to refer the several entities related with this transport contract. The entities included are the ones generally included in the aligned documents according to UN/ECE Recommendation 1. But it was identified the need to specify some of these entities in segment group 42. So, in order to maintain the compatibility between the business documents and this need, these entities can be referred at CNI level and/or at GID level. The following rules apply: - If they are omitted at CNI level, then the ones referred at GID level will be considered provided that all occurrences of GID group will have these entities, otherwise an error will occur. - If they are present at CNI level and omitted at GID level, then the ones at CNI level will be applied to GID level during the integration process. - If they are present at CNI level and present in some (not all) occurrences of GID group, then the ones at CNI level will be applied to the occurrences of the GID group that had no entities associated. - If they are present at CNI level and in all occurrences of GID group, then the information will be processed as is. At least this group must be used to identify the agent that is presenting the cargo to Customs (DE3035='AG') and the Carrier (DE3035='CA'). This group is also used to state the Customs Office that endorses the exit from the Customs territory. Use code 'CM' in DE3035 for this purpose. Another usage is to identify that an another entity will provide detailed information about the document of transport. This scenario occurs when the document of transport needs to be unfolded (desdobrado). This entity is designated as Nominated Freight Company for this purpose and use code 'FB' in DE3035. A segment to identify the party's name, address, and function. For all entities the composite C058 and elements 3251 and 3207 must be used. Additionally for nationals send the tax payer number in C082:3039. Additionally whenever NAD:3035 in {'CA','FB'} then do not use DE:3055 and the identification placed in DE:3039 must be preeceded by the ISO country code (2 digit) corresponding to the nationality of the carrier or the nominated freight company. In DE:1131 use the appropriate code that correctly identifies the type of number given to the Portuguese Customs at the moment of the protocol signature. When identifying a Customs Office use code '113' in DE:1131 and code '155' in DE:3055. When identifying a Portuguese entity use code '167' in DE:1131 and code '155' in DE:3055. The usage of qualifiers 'AG' and 'CA' is required. Example: Agent of Cargo, tax payer id 510042365789. NAD+AG+510042365789:167:155' Code giving a specific meaning to a party Agent/representative.

Agoods item can ben identified by up to three levels of packaging. This is a conditional group and can be repeated 999 times. Each instance describes a cargo departure, goods, passengers, etc. For the Port of LeixÕes and the Port of Sines, and if the transport document refers only to empty transport equipment then this group and all its included segments is not needed. For the Port of Lisbon this group is needed in all situations. In the case of empty transport equipment, there must be one occurrence for each type of containers according with the codes presented in segment GDS. Example: 20 Boxes of carton, being the third goods in the consignment. GID+3+20:CT:67:6' Serial number differentiating each separate goods item entry of a consignment, as contained in one document/declaration. Must be unique in each consignment. Number of undivisible parts of a shipment (without undoing the packing). Note that for break-bulk it must be declared 1 volume.

Do not use codes Directive 10,20,30,50,60 and 90 as they are Classification Groups. Only provided for backward compatibility. Information will be treated like the segment GDS in this group LOC - An element to specify a country associated with a goods item, such as a country of origin or destination. This segment has three required usages. One is to state the first port of loading of goods into a vessel. For this case, use 3227='76'. Another is to state the last port of discharge of goods from a vessel. For this case, use 3227='170'. The other is to state the intended terminal/berth/location where the goods are expected to be loaded/discharged to/from the vessel, except if it is a transit manifest (SG2:GOR:DE8323='3'). In this last situation this usage does not apply. This information is previsional. It will be confirmed and updated by the Port Auhtorities to Customs and other participating entities, using the Means of Transport Process (PMT) as a result of fine tune planning, maneuver's scheduling and occurred events, specially after the mooring of the vessel. Example: Cargo movement from/to the vessel at berth 007 in the Port of Lisbon LOC+164+PTLIS:139:6+007' Example: Original port of loading Shangai LOC+76+CNSHA:139:6' Code identifying the function of a location Original port of loading Berth Final port of discharge Identification of the of the place/location. UN/ECE Recommendation 16(3rd edition) - UNLOCODE - Codes for ports and other locations (Doc. Ref ECE/TRADE/227) v2003.2 Identification of a code list. Port Code identifying the agency responsible for a code list UN/ECE Specification of the first related place/location by code. Use if DE:3227 is '164'. List to be provided by the Port Authority receiver of the message. . MOA - A segment to specify a monetary amount associated with a goods item, such as declared value, FOB value, etc. Example: Total amount € 5.587,00. MOA+39:558700:EUR' Amount of goods or services stated as a monetary amount in a specified currency. Invoice total amount Number of monetary units Identification of the name or symbol of the monetary unit involved in the transaction EURO PIA - A group to specify article numbers. This segment is required except for transit manifest. In this case use the 8 digit format with 4 significant digits (means that at least the first 4 must be given and the others will be zero). The usage of 14 digits in the HS code is advised since in the future some customs procedures may be simplified if this information is provided. If the consignment is related with empty containers, two situations may apply. 1. The containers are being considered just equipment being moved for positioning purposes, then element 7140 must have the value "8609000000" and the type of document in group 26:RFF:1153='AEW'. This applies to the Port of Lisbon and Port of Sines only. 2. The containers were object of a commercial transaction (example, they were sold by a container maker). In this case they are considered to be goods items. Then element 7140 must have values "8609000000" and in GDS:7085 must have a value in ('31,'32','33','34'). If the manifest type is transit (SG2:GOR:DE8323='3') then this segment is optional for all port authorities. Note that these data are not binding for Customs' purposes. Example: HS 63.02, Towels PIA+5+63020000:HS' Indication of the function of the product code Product Identification A number allocated to a group or item. Harmonized system code: 4 digits minimum, 14 for non-EU goods. Identification of the type of item number Harmonised system FTX - An element to give information and/or processable instructions in adition to those in other elements. Goods description must be sent (FTX:4451='AAA'). In this case, the goods description must be in portuguese and/or in english. So two occurrences of FTX with DE:4451 equal to 'AAA' may appear. If the goods benefit from aid under the procedure of supplying the national islands, this fact can be stated in this segment (with FTX:4451='AAI'). In this case element 4440 in C108 shall have the expression "POSEIMA". This usage applies if it is a disembark manifest (SG2:GOR:8323=2) to deliver to a port at the Azores or Madeira archipelagos. Everytime the goods in this segment group are declared in an export customs declaration, it must be stated if they are the total, just a part or the rest of what is referenced on that declaration. This fact is stated in this segment with 4451='CUS, and element C108:4440 shall be used for this purpose with code 'T' for total, 'P' for part and 'R' for rest. This information applies when this message is an export document (SG2:GOR:8323='1') and goods are being exported (according with customs definition) or goods in transhipment with an export MRN (Movement Reference Number). It is necessary to segregate the situation when goods of the type vehicles carry other goods inside. Both the vehicle and other goods are considered as one item, so GID occurs only once. Vehicle must be declared according to their specific rules (see Notes of segment group 46), but additionally segment must be sent with code 'TRA' in DE:4451. The elements 4440 can be used to provide complementary information like which vehicle is carrying which goods or which quantities. All these rules do not apply in the case of empty transport equipment. Additionally, if in the presence of an empty transport equipment and it is to be consider as goods, then this segment must be sent with 4451='OSI' and first element of C108:4440 shall have the value 'G' with the meaning "Empty Equipment as goods". Example: Goods description: PVC bags for packaging purpose, in english. FTX+AAA+++PVC BAGS FOR PACKAGING PURPOSE+EN' Example: Goods to supply the islands.FTX+AAI+++POSEIMA' Code specifying the subject of the free text Goods description. This code must be used at least once for Customs purposes. General information. Use to inform if the goods benefit from special aid under the procedure of supply of the national islands. Customs declaration information. This qualifier is to state if the goods item corresponds to the total, to a part or to the rest of the cargo declared in a certain customs document. Transportation information General information regarding the transport of the cargo. Use this code when the declared vehicle are carrying other goods inside. The simple usage of the code is enough to state this scenario but it is advised to send complementary information in DE:4440. Other service information. General information created by the sender of general or specific value. This qualifier is to state if an empty equipment of transport is to be treated as goods item. Code of language (ISO 639-1988). According to ISO 639:1988 two-letter code. English Portuguese NAD - A group of segments to identify different places of collection and/or delivery for the goods item.

If it is a transport equipment and it is not empty the element 8275 is required. When marks are unknown fill in element ShippingMarks with "No Marks". When referring to vehicles on the ShippingMarks element, the first 35 chars are used to declare the maker and the model, and the seconds 35 are to declare the chassis number. This is required by Customs. These values are not needed in the case of empty transport equipment, since an empty transport equipment does not carry packages.

UN/EDIFACT code list for Data Element 4233. Shipping marks on packages in free text GOR - An element to indicate applicable governmental procedures related to import, export and transport of the item. This element has several uses, all related with customs procedures. It is to indicate applicable governmental procedures related to import (according with Customs definition), export (according with Customs definition) and transit (according with Customs definition). One usage is to give the EU status. This is, if goods are in free practice or not, and if it has Customs formalities to fulfil. It is also used to state if simplified procedures are used or not, and if they are, then inform the type of simplification applied. On some of these situations the group DOC must be used. For document details see DOC segment, group 49. In the context of the group usage, the purpose of the segment is to indicate applicable governmental procedures related to import (according with Customs definition), export (according with Customs definition) and transit (according with Customs definition). These codes are applied in the transit simplified procedures in 8323. They are 'ZT1', 'ZW', 'ZTF', 'ZTD', 'ZC' and 'ZX', and they are to be used according to the Customs procedure in practice.. These code are applied without regular line services in 8323. They are 'ZC', 'ZN' and 'ZF', and they are to be used to give information about the status of goods. Example: Community Goods. GOR+ZC+5' Code indicating the movement of goods (import, export, transit). Usage of this element: 1. Authorised Regular Line services (Regulation nº 2454/93) 1.1.

Reference number assigned to the document/message by the issuer. DTM - Element to indicate the date/time of the document/message. The complete meaning of this date depends of the type of document in the previous DOC segment, stated in DOC:C002:1001 data element. Example: Date of issue of the document "2003/10/08" DTM+182:20031008:102´ Code giving specific meaning to a date, time or period Date when a document/message has been or will be issued The value of a date, a date and a tiem, a time or a period, in a specified representation. According with UN/ECE Recommendation Nº7. Specification of the representation of a date, date and time or a period CCYYMMDD Calendar date: C= Century Y= Year M= Month D= Day CCYY Calendar date: C= Century Y= Year Only to use when the document was the one under which the agent acquired the authorized expeditor status (SG49:DOC:1001='Z02'). SGP - An element to indicate the equipment in which the goods are transported. This element is dependent on wether the goods are loaded or not into some transport equipment. For bulk containers this group is not necessary. This group depends of the existence of goods loaded into a transport equipment. This element group identifies the transport equipment in which the goods are loaded. Details on transport equipment are displayed in the segment group 60. Example: a shipper sends 45 ton of product XPTO distributed as follows: 20 ton in equipment A and 25 to in equipment B. Note that each transport equipment referred by each occurrence of this group must be described by one occurrence of group 60. For the Port of Leixões and the Port of Sines they must be declared as full in group 60. When displaying the number of volumes it is necessary to have in mind that the total number of volumes must equal the sum of the loaded volumes on each equipment. Using this group is based on the knowledge of what goods are in which equipment. Therefore it depends on the knowledge of such information. Thus when using group 52, each equipment referenced will also be identified and described in segment group 60. For bulk cargo, they are treated as a whole, so they will not be split. This group would not be needed. In the case of empty transport equipment, this group is used just to relate a particular equipment with information required that appears only in group 41 (example: Warehouse Depositor, Nature of Cargo). This last issue does not apply to the Port of Leixões and the Port of Sines. Example: Container CGTU 200311/5 carries 10 volumes of the goods. SGP+CGTU2003115+10' Marks (letters or numbers) which identify equipment used for transport, such as a container Number of individual parts of a shipment either unpacked, or packed in such a way that they cannot be divided without first undoing the packing MEA - A group of segments to identify measurements. This group in this part of the structure is to provide measurement only of the goods actually loaded in the equipment referenced in the SGP segment. In the case of empty transport equipment this information does not apply. So the group does not occur. An exception to this rule was set by the Port of Lisbon. For the Port of Lisbon only, in the case of empty transport equipment, information about the tare of the equipment has to be provided. A segment to specify measurements of that portion of the goods item in the equipment. For physical measures (weight), the value in element 6066 shall be rounded to two decimal positions. Decimal values equal or above 0,005, shall be rounded to 0,01. Decimal values lower than 0,005 shall be rounded to 0,00. The decimal point shall not be sent. The two rightmost digits will be considered as the decimal position. Example, a weight of 1366,357 kilogram shall be reported as 136636 and will be interpreted as 1366,36 by the receiver. Example: Gross weight 258,63 Kg. MEA+AAI+AAD+KGM:25863' Specifies the purpose of the measurement Measurement Item weight. Provided for backward compatibility only. Weights. For the Port of Lisbon only. Specification of the property measured Total gross weight. Mass of the item, including packing but excluding the carrier's equipment Tare weight, excluding goods and loose accessories. For the Port of Lisbon only. Indication of the unit in which the measured quantity is expressed. UN/ECE Recommendation 20 - Annex II Kilogram Value of the measured quantity. Include 2 decimal positions. EQN - A segment to specify the number of equipment units to each of which the given measurement applies. Only provided for backward compatibility. Number of units EQD - An element to specify equipment, equipment size and type used in transport. The equipment is identified and its tare must be provided. When the equipment is full then information about the seal must be provided. Also, if the equipment is full then its identification must be present in one occurrence of group 52 (SGP) at least. Of course this reference in group 52 is under an occurrence of group 41 (GID) if all/part of the goods described by group 41 are in the equipment. This applies only to the Port of Leixões to the Port of Sines. Both references in groups 52 and 60 must be present in the same group 19 (CNI). See notes in group 52. In element 8155 the container ISO type according to ISO 6346 (2nd and 3rd editions) is sent. In this standard the first number of this codification provides the container length. If unknown then use the code defined for element 8155 by UN/EDIFACT. This segment is to identify the transport equipment, its size/type and if it is full or empty. If it is full, its presence in one occurrence of group 52 will be checked, given an error if absent. If it is empty, its presence in one occurrence of group 52 will be checked, given an error if present. If it is other than an ISO container then DE:8155 shall have the proper value from the standard code list associated with this element (displayed in the element). If it is an ISO container then DE: 8155 shall have the ISO type according standard ISO 6346. If this code is unknown then place the proper value from standard code list associated with this element (displayed in the element).

Use this code when DE:8155 contains a code from the list associated with this Data Element. To indicate the extent of the equipment being full or empty Empty. For the Port of Leixões and the Port of Sines, if the equipment is empty then its identification must be absent from any occurrence of group 52. Full. For the Port of Leixões and the Port of Sines, if the equipment is full then its identification must be present in one occurrence of group 52. Full, mixed consignment. For the Port of Leixões and the Port of Sines, if the equipment is full then its identification must be present in one occurrence of group 52. Full, single consignment. For the Port of Leixões and the Port of Sines, if the equipment is full then its identification must be present in one occurrence of group 52. MEA - A segment to specify measurements, other than dimensions, associated with the equipment, such as weight. For physical measures (tare is a weight), the value in element 6066 shall be rounded to two decimal positions. Decimal values equal or above 0,005, shall be rounded to 0,01. Decimal values lower than 0,005 shall be rounded to 0,00. The decimal point shall not be sent. The two rightmost digits will be considered as the decimal position. Example, a tare of 2053,353 kilogram shall be reported as 205335 and will be interpreted as 2053,35 by the receiver. Example: Container with tare 2139 Kg. MEA+WT+T+KGM:213900' Specification of the purpose of the measurement Weights Specification of the property being measured Tare weight Indication of the unit in which the quantity is expressed Kilogram. UN/ECE Recommendation 20 - Annex II Value of the measured unit SEL - An element to identify the the seal and the seal issuer associated with the equipment.
