How should the carrier report the master air waybill record, when an express consignment carrier is providing house air waybill level information through a CBP-approved proprietary system? If the carrier transmits the master air waybill with the consolidation identifier and no house air waybill records are received in Air AMS, no transfer requests (in-bonds or permits to transfer) will be approved.
Only in cases where the house air waybill level information will be received by CBP through an approved proprietary system for express consignment cargo may the carrier eliminate the consolidation identifier and identify the record as a simple air waybill. In this case, the carrier will still use the AGT field of the record to identify the party that will supply the house air waybill level information.
