Japan AFR

How to Update Changes to Non-Amendable Fields?

Once the HBL has been submitted and accepted by Japan Customs, certain fields can no longer be amended. Please review the list of non-amendable fields.

NOTE: Amendments and cancellations for shipments that have already arrived in Japan are not allowed electronically.
Additionally, submissions made after ATD may result in rejection.
For assistance, please contact support@crimsonlogic.com.

If the field you need to update falls under the non-amendable category, kindly follow the steps below:

Step 1: Cancel the Current HBL
1. Go to the transaction and click UPDATE.


2. Inside the transaction, select the Cancellation Function Code and select the reason.



Step 2: Copy the AFR
Once the transaction has been successfully canceled:
1. Copy the cancelled AFR.

2. Edit the necessary non-amendable fields.
3. Ensure all required changes are completed before resubmitting.

Step 3: Update the Function Type Code
Before resubmission, update the AFR Function Type Code to:
2 = Addition, or
9 = Original

Make sure the correct Function Type Code is selected before submitting the revised AFR.
