For Flying Truck, we are aware that these are exempt, but will we still have to transfer it to our 8000 number and for customs clearance? If yes, will the Previous be the MAWB # or the truck bond #?

That depends. Each shipment will take specific management and handling. For example, if the eHBL and Close Message are filed and if the Air carrier files its Primary and the warehouse “Arrives” / WACMs the MAWB then the D4 Deconsolidation Notice should flow and it would be like any other air shipment. In this case, the Primary CCN would be the airline MAWB.  Or, in the unlikely situation that the Highway carrier files its Highway Primary, then eHBLs could be linked to that Highway Primary CCN.  

 

As of writing [November 2020] freight forwarders are being advised to handle Flying Truck shipments as they did ‘pre-eHBL’, basically paper, while exploring to see if an eHBL solution presents itself.
