Please see the SI 3 Business Rule Spreadsheet referenced above for a detailed description
of use cases related to filing status and indicators for Consolidation shipments.
Customer may use the "Single Message" qualifier (FTX+DOC++SMI) to indicate a
Consolidation Shipment, ie., an aggregation of multiple LCL shipments.
If the Single Message Indicator is ON (ie., customer sends FTX+DOC++SMI), then
filing status and other house bill information will always be provided at the GID level. In
this case, Carriers will ignore filing status sent at the Header level if provided.
If the Single Message Indicator is OFF (ie., customer omits FTX+DOC++SMI) then
filing status information will always be provided at the Header level. In this case, Carriers
will ignore filing status sent at the GID level if provided.
The following Localized Customs Rules apply when SMI is OFF:
1. United States or Canadian Imports:
When Port of Discharge (0520LOC) is a US or Canadian port, Manifest Filer Status
(MFS) and Manifest Filing Country are mandatory at the Header level:
Example:
FTX+CCI++MFS+5:US
or
FTX+CCI++MFS+1:US:SCAC
If Manifest Filer Status is Self (1), then Manifest Filer Identification C108, 4440(3) is
mandatory.
2. FROB Cargo thru the US or Canada:
