MANY INLAND PORTS ARE NOW RECEIVING "V" PAPERLESS IN-BOND CARGO FROM
THE CANADIAN BORDER. THIS CARGO, COMING ON RAILROAD "V" BONDS V37
V38, MUST BE PROCESSED EXACTLY AS YOU CURRENTLY HANDLE "V" PAPERLESS
IN-BONDS FROM U.S. SEAPORTS. TO CORRECTLY CLEAR THIS CARGO AND CLOSE
THE IN-BOND, FILERS MUST SUPPLY THE CORRECT RAIL SCAC CODE, THE RAIL
BILL OF LADING, BILL ISSUER CODE (SAME AS SCAC CODE), "V" IN-BOND AND
QUANTITY FOR RAIL MOT 20 AND 21.
RAIL AMS IS NOW OPERATIONAL IN SEVEN NORTHERN BORDER PORTS. CANADIAN
NATIONAL (CNRU) AND CANADIAN PACIFIC (CPRS) ARE BOTH PARTICIPATING IN
THIS PROGRAM AND SENDING "V" PAPERLESS IN-BONDS TO A VARIETY OF INLAND
DESTINATIONS.
WE WOULD LIKE TO REMIND YOU OF TWO ABI APPLICATIONS; "BD" BROKER
DOWNLOAD AND "NS" STATUS NOTIFICATION.
THESE APPLICATIONS WERE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO HELP BROKERS REDUCE
PAPER AND FACILITATE THE FLOW OF RAIL INFORMATION AND CARGO. IN "BD"
CUSTOMS PROVIDES, TO THE DESIGNATED FILER, AN ELECTRONIC COPY OF THE
RAIL BILL OF LADING. IN "NS" WE PROVIDE STATUS NOTIFICATIONS RELATING
TO INDIVIDUAL BILLS. USING THESE ABI FEATURES WILL INSURE THAT YOU STAY
IN THE INFORMATION LOOP AND WILL HELP YOU PROVIDE EVEN BETTER SERVICE TO
YOUR CUSTOMERS.
THERE IS NO RAIL BILL OF LADING QUERY FUNCTION. YOU CAN HOWEVER
CONTINUE TO USE THE "CARGO RELEASE QUERY" AND THE "ENTRY SUMMARY
QUERY".
GET ON BOARD WITH OUR NEWEST AUTOMATED MODE OF TRANSPORT! FOR MORE
INFORMATION CHECK YOUR CATAIR FOR "AUTOMATED MANIFEST SYSTEM (AMS) RAIL"
AND "IN-BOND" PAGES INB-41 TO INB-48. YOU CAN ALSO CONTACT YOUR
SOFTWARE VENDOR FOR MORE INFORMATATION OR YOUR ACS CLIENT
REPRESENTATIVE.
