2. Three new values are added to the Shipment type code for a total of seven possible code values. The additional values are: 05-Diplomatic Shipment, 06-Carnet and 07-US Return Goods.
3. The Action reason code will now be used with three possible code values: CT-Compliant Transaction, FR-Flexible Range and FT-Flexible Timing.

2. Note 1 is also modified to change the circumstances under which a surety code is mandatory.
3. CAMIR ONLY - Added Code Qualifier FC to report the mandatory Agent/Filer of the ISF filing.
Note: The functionality for reporting the Agent/Filer is currently active and, if an Agent/Filer code is included in the input transaction it will be echoed back in both the accept/reject application SN response and the application SA Status Advisory messages.
