We have a weekly container from Antwerp to Montreal. Mostly there are multiple shipments, multiple shippers – multiple consignees. On the eManifest we always put “NO” on the consolidation indication, and we acquit the cargo through this manifest. I assume this is a correct process?

To complete the scenario: We have a weekly container from Antwerp to Montreal. Our partner files the ACI. We file the eManifest here in Montreal, point of clearance, at a bonded warehouse. Mostly there are multiple shipments, multiple shippers – multiple consignees. On the eManifest we always put “NO” on the consolidation indication, and we acquit the cargo through this manifest. I assume this is a correct process.


As of January 4, 2021, both the eHBL data and the Close Message must be filed at least

24 hours prior to loading of the vessel at Antwerp.  There is no requirement for the ACI S10 Supplementary data transmission.  Your company must decide which organization will file the eHBL data set/ Close Message and under whose (bonded?) 8000 code. 

You are correct that the Consolidated Indicator would be ‘No’ if each house bill (and eHBL) is consigned to the importer/ consignee and that 8000 CCN is used on the Customs release request to acquit the cargo.
