CONTAINERISED SEA CARGO REPORTING When an FCL OBOL cargo report is submitted to the ICS, the ICS will find all HBOL cargo reports for the same vessel/voyage/container (either FCL, FCX or LCL). If the OBOL numbers on the OBOL cargo report and HBOL cargo report(s) is the same, then the ICS will link these documents normally. If the OBOL numbers are different, the ICS will append the OBOL number from the OBOL cargo report to the HBOL cargo report and link these documents. Industry will still be required to continue to report the OBOL numbers provided on commercial documentation. Cargo reports may be amended or withdrawn, but unique cargo identifiers such as vessel Id, voyage number, OBOL number and HBOL number cannot be amended. If any unique cargo identifiers are required to be amended, the cargo report must be withdrawn and a new report submitted. Amendments to, or withdrawals of, HBOL cargo reports via EDI will be accepted only if the reported or derived OBOL number is quoted within the message. To clarify the matching process, there are a number of principles that will be applied when deriving an OBOL number for an HBOL cargo report: • If two or more OBOL cargo reports with the same vessel/voyage/container exist in the ICS when a matching HBOL cargo report is submitted, the HBOL cargo report will be linked to the OBOL cargo report that was submitted first; • If the linking of the HBOL cargo report to the OBOL cargo report will result in an impossible situation, such as an FCL HBOL cargo report becoming the child of an LCL HBOL cargo report, only the OBOL will only be derived for the HBOL cargo report that was submitted first; and • An OBOL cargo report will not be linked to an HBOL cargo report with the same vessel/voyage/container if the transit indicators on the two documents are different (i.e., one cargo report is for transit cargo and the other is for import cargo). SCENARIOS Scenario 1 (below) shows the system behaviour when: • The freight forwarder reports one HBOL cargo report for an FCL container using an inaccurate OBOL number; • The shipping company reports one OBOL cargo report for the FCL container consigned to the freight forwarder; • There is no underbond move required as the container is to be delivered from the wharf. Scenario 2 (below) shows the system behaviour when: • The freight forwarder reports one HBOL cargo report for an FCL container using an inaccurate OBOL number; • The shipping company reports one OBOL cargo report for the FCL container consigned to the freight forwarder, mistakenly quoting the incorrect OBOL number, so the OBOL cargo report is withdrawn, corrected and resubmitted; • There is no underbond move required as the container is to be delivered from the wharf.
CONTAINERISED OUTTURNS Sea Cargo Outturns at the HBOL level must quote either the OBOL number reported within the HBOL cargo report or the OBOL number that was derived from the OBOL cargo report. The ICS will recognise either of these OBOL numbers if quoted on a Sea Cargo Outturn and will process as normal. Amendments to Sea Cargo Outturns will be allowed using either the reported or derived OBOL number. SCENARIOS Scenario 3 (below) shows the system behaviour when: • The shipping company reports an OBOL cargo report for an FCL container consigned to a freight forwarder; • The freight forwarder reports one HBOL cargo report for an LCL consignment in that container using an inaccurate OBOL number; • The container is moved underbond from the wharf to a depot for deconsolidation • This depot submits a Sea Cargo Outturn report for the consolidation, quoting the freight forwarder’s inaccurate OBOL number for the LCL line LINE LEVEL UNDERBOND MOVEMENTS Sea Cargo Underbond Movements at line level must quote either the OBOL number reported within the HBOL cargo report or the OBOL number that was derived from the OBOL cargo report. The ICS will recognise either of these OBOL numbers if quoted on a Sea Cargo Underbond Movement and will process as normal. Amendments to insert or delete a line within a Sea Cargo Underbond Movement will be allowed using either the reported or derived OBOL number. SCENARIOS Scenario 4 (below) shows the system behaviour when: • The freight forwarder reports an HBOL for an LCL container to the ICS using an OBOL number different to that issued by the shipping company • The shipping company reports the OBOL sea cargo report to the ICS using their OBOL number . • The container is moved underbond from the wharf to a depot for deconsolidation • An underbond movement request for a line within an LCL Container is submitted OUTBOUND MESSAGES There are no changes to Outbound Messages as a result of Phase 2 of the OBOL changes. ICS SCREEN CHANGES As a result of these changes there will be a number of changes to screens within the ICS Customs Interactive. Customs Interactive users will notice changes, detailed below, to the following screens: • Sea Cargo Report View • Underbond Movements View & Underbond Movements Line View • Sea Cargo Outturn View
