CENSUS HAS ASKED US TO FORWARD THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE CONCERNING

ON OR ABOUT DECEMBER 14, WE WILL ADD OR MODIFY THREE EDITS ON THE
CENSUS INTERFACE ON ABI:
1. WE WILL BEGIN EDITING CHARGES ON SHIPMENTS VALUED LESS THAN
$10,000 FOR ALL METHODS OF TRANSPORTATION. IF CHARGES ARE
GREATER THAN $100,000 FOR SHIPMENTS LESS THAN $10,000, THE LINE
WILL REJECT WITH A CENSUS WARNING OF "27Q" (MAXIMUM CHARGES
EXCEEDED)

TRANSPORTATION OTHER. IF THE MOT IS NOT VESSEL AND IS NOT AIR
