BROKERS MAKING ENTRY AGAINST RAIL AMS BILLS OF LADING ARE REMINDED THAT
THE RAIL AMS BROKER DOWNLOAD FILE TRANSFER ('BD' APPLICATION IN CATAIR)
DOES NOT REPLACE THE COMMERCIAL INVOICE. THE 'BD' DATA SET IS INTENDED
TO PROVIDE NOTICE OF AN INCOMING SHIPMENT FOR A BROKER'S CLIENT. THE
'BD' ALSO PROVIDES KEY ELEMENTS SUCH AS THE RAIL BILL OF LADING AND
MANIFESTED QUANTITY, ALONG WITH OTHER REFERENCE DATA ELEMENTS USEFUL IN
PREPARING THE ENTRY AND PROMOTING PRE-FILING AGAINST AUTOMATED RAIL
SHIPMENTS, BUT THE 'BD' DATA SET IS NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR THE COMMERCIAL
INVOICE.
