ATTN: ABI Software Developers and Other Interested Parties
ABI functionality to transmit In-Bonds for Air Cargo will be deployed to November 5, 2012. ABI In-Bond requests may ONLY be transmitted for air waybills that have been transmitted and accepted in the Air Automated Manifest System.
Important points to remember:
- Air 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.
The revised CATAIR Chapter Air In-Bond (ABI Application identifiers QX/WX) can be found at the following url:
