ACI eHBL 131 – Do we know what data the ocean carriers are providing to our overseas agents and the timeframes in which they are doing it? Can we be confident that our agents are receiving the information we need in a timely manner?

The only data element that an overseas agent must get from the marine carrier is the Primary Cargo Control Number. Most marine carriers have a standard formula for adding their 9000 CBSA Carrier Code to their bill of lading number, thus creating the Primary CCN. The agent only needs to know the formula for that carrier and their bill of lading number. All other data elements are house bill data elements, that your agent has already. 

Houston, we have a problem!

We are currently fixing this spaceship, so you might experience a bumpy flight.
