QX in-bond requests may be transmitted for air waybills that have been established in the Air Automated Manifest System.

Important points to remember:

- QX in-bonds must be requested at the simple and house bill levels.
- When applicable, previous in-bond numbers must be transmitted with subsequent in-bond requests.
- Previous in-bonds must be arrived before a subsequent in-bond request is transmitted.
- Partial piece counts are not permitted with QX (either space fill or zero fill)
- In-bond requests for split air waybills must match the arrival information transmitted by the Air Carrier for each part
- In-bond requests for split air waybills must have a unique in-bond control number for each part arrival.
