EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, THE NEW PORT OF UNLADING FIELD WILL BE OUTPUT TO
THE FILER AS PART OF THE RESPONSE RECORDS FROM THE "FI" TRANSACTION. THIS
NEW ONE CHARACTER FIELD WILL BE INCLUDED IN POSITION 75 OF THE F101 OUTPUT
RECORD. THE TWO VALID VALUES FOR THIS FIELD ARE "0" AND "1". THE PURPOSE
OF THIS NEW FIELD IS TO IDENTIFY WHETHER OR NOT EACH REGION/DISTRICT/PORT
CODE RETURNED AS PART OF THE "FI" QUERY OUTPUT IS A VALID PORT OF UNLADING
FOR ENTRY AND SUMMARY REPORTING PURPOSES.

WHEN POSITION 75 OF THE F101 RECORD REFLECTS A "1", THE PORT CODE MAY BE
REPORTED AS A VALID PORT OF UNLADING ON AN ENTRY OR ENTRY SUMMARY.
WHEN POSITION 75 OF THE F101 RECORD REFLECTS A "0", THE PORT CODE IS NOT
A VALID PORT OF UNLADING. WHEN TRANSMITTING 7501 ENTRY SUMMARY
INFORMATION, THE FOUR CHARACTER NUMERIC PORT OF UNLADING CODE IS
FOUND IN POSITIONS 30-33 OF THE A20 ABI RECORD FOR THE "EI" TRANSACTION.
THE "HI" TRANSACTION FOR CARGO IS ALSO AFFECTED. VALID PORT OF UNLADING
CODES ARE REPORTED IN THE "H1" RECORD IN POSITIONS 65-68.

WHEN AN INVALID PORT OF UNLADING IS SENT AS PART OF THE "EI" TRANSACTION
OR THE "HI" TRANSACTION, IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE TRANSACTION WILL
BE REJECTED AND AN ERROR MESSAGE RETURNED TO THE FILER STATING "INVALID
PORT OF UNLADING".

ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE ABOVE INFORMATION SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO YOUR
CLIENT REPRESENTATIVE.
