“There are 3 paper options available if the warehouse is not set up to receive the Deconsolidation notice: 

Freight forwarder may present a hard copy of the raw data EDI Decon notice. If the freight forwarder is set up to receive the Deconsolidation notice, they will be able to print the row EDI message and present it to the warehouse operator in order to retrieve their goods from the warehouse.”

The other two paper options are a Customs’ stamped Close Message printed out from the portal or a primary manifest with the 8000 numbers written on the back, stamped by Customs. This is a disaster waiting to happen.
