1.  Introduction

This manual describes the message that should be used by the carrier to notify details of consignments loaded on a specific vessel to leave the European territory.

This message is intended to link the declared transport documents and commercial data to the declaration numbers (MRN).

Besides this MIG describes also a protocol / message layout that allows “piecemeal” changes to a manifest to be sent.

But it should be noted that this approach makes the processing of a manifest message dependent on the processing state of the previous manifest message sent for the same manifest (e.g. when changing/deleting a manifest item, the manifest message that adds the item must have been processed before). In other words, it implicitly assumes that manifest messages are processed one by one, in the order that they were sent. So the responsible party should only sent modifications or new data after he has received the customs answer on the previous export manifest message.

The message type 5 (modification) can be used per manifest item or for all manifest item which should be modified.

-  In case a manifest item has to be deleted, then all related number of packages and gross mass must be equal to the value 0.

-  In case commercial data should be added, then Manifest item/Transport document data/Commercial data including the previous communicated commercial data should be noted.

-  In case commercial data should be deleted, then Manifest item/Transport document data/Commercial data including all previous communicated commercial data should be noted. The packages and gross mass must be equal to the value 0 related to the commercial data which has to be deleted.

Note:

1.  In case a manifest item has to be added, than the message type 9 should be used.

2.  The fields related to the Manifest registration should also always be noted when the message type 5 is used.
