The relevant statement(s) may be included within Handling
Information (Box 21) of the AWB which will be sent in the OSI
segment.
1.3.3 Dangerous Goods (DG) Shipments may require the original Declaration for
Dangerous Goods (DGD). For such cases, forwarders may submit and include the
original documents inside the document pouch, and enter the below statement in
the OSI or SSR field of the FWB indicating the cargo as such.
For DG Shipment:
“Dangerous Goods as per attached DGD”; or
“Dangerous Goods as per attached DGD-CAO”
For consolidation containing both DG and Non-DG:
“XX Packages Dangerous Goods as per attached DGD”; or
“XX Packages Dangerous Goods as per attached DGD-CAO”
1.3.4 Direct/Walk-in Shipments will be handled according to each Airlines’ current
individual processes.
1.4 How does e-AWB work?
Both parties (Airline and Forwarder) must have an Electronic Data Interchange
(EDI) Agreement prior to implementing the e-AWB.
Forwarder makes reservations with the Carrier and specify in FWB message
according to agreed procedure between Airline and Forwarder. SHC code
"EAP" or "EAW" is to be indicated in the booking record.
Forwarder sends FWB / XFWB and FHL / XFHL (for consolidations) electronic
messages to either the Cargo Community System (CCS), the airline or the CTO
as dictated by the airline. The receiving party validates the data and transmits
an FNA back to the forwarder if error is found otherwise transmits an FMA back
to the forwarder and send the data to the Cargo Terminal Operator (CTO)
and/or airline, as per CTO & airline standing instructions. This is a critical step
to ensure the eAWB data has been processed by CTO/Airline.
Prior to tendering the shipment to the Carrier, the Forwarder must check for a
FMA or FNA message. This is a critical step to ensure the eAWB data has been
processed by the CTO/Airline and to ensure that the FWB/FHL is captured by
the CTO/Airline to avoid rejection due to nil FWB/FHL data by CTO/Airline
when tendering the shipment.
Forwarder tenders the shipment to the CTO prior to flight departure/cut-off.
