For LCL shipments, if one of the freight forwarders doesn’t file the eManifest and Close Message, will the container be on DO NOT LOAD mode?
Multi-tiered consolidations will, in all likelihood, be very problematic until everyone is filing eHBL and Close Messages within the timeframes … at least 24 hours prior to load. Between November 1, 2020 and June 4, 2021 cargo will load on an ACI S10 Supplementary filing and a paper Customs release request. CIFFA strongly recommends all NVOCC / master co-loaders establish and communicate the business rules that will govern entrance into its consolidation, with firm deadlines for everyone to file eHBL …. well before January 4, 2021. And those business rules must flow down through every freight forwarder in the consolidation that issues a house bill consigned to another freight forwarder… an eHBL with a ‘Consolidated Indicator Yes’.
