0. INTRODUCTION
This specification provides the definition of the Instruction
contract status message (IFTMCS) to be used in Electronic Data
Interchange (EDI) between trading partners involved in
administration, commerce and transport.
1. SCOPE
This paper provides the definition of the Instruction Contract
Status Message to be used in fulfilling the requirements of
trading partners in the transport chain worldwide, in the
interchange of cargo and transport related information using
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI).
This message is a single consignment based message, being
aligned with other single consignment based messages such as
the booking messages (IFTMBP, IFTMBF and IFTMBC), the
Instruction Message (IFTMIN) and the Arrival Notice Message
(IFTMAN).
The single consignment based messages can be used by all modes
of transport for the forwarding and transport of goods from any
origin to any destination, regardless of route or prevailing
commercial practice.
These messages are suitable for the arrangement of the
transport of goods between all parties to the movement of the
consignment (including the consignor/shipper and consignee as
well as the forwarders, brokers, and carriers involved) as well
as providing the information necessary to perform that
transport and delivery of the goods.
They should be used in the same way by each mode of transport
when the requirements are common even if functionally similar
information is known by different names.
1.1 Functional definition
A message from the party providing the transport/forwarding
services to the party that issued the instructions for those
services stating the actual details, terms and conditions
(charges when applicable) of the service and of the consignment
involved. In addition it can be used for the exchange of
contract information between carriers mutually.
1.2 Field of application
The Instruction contract status message may be used for both
national and international applications. It is based on
universal practice related to administration, commerce and
transport, and is not dependent on the type of business or
industry.
1.3 Principles
The party providing the transport services will send an
instruction contract status message, usually after receipt of
the instruction message. The message can replace the actual
contractual document such as for instance a Waybill, under
those circumstances where there are no legal or other
restrictions.
The message might contain information concerning charges but
should not be seen as a replacement for the invoice.
- A consignment may contain several goods items.
- Goods items may or may not be containerized.
- A goods item may be transported in one or more containers,
and a single container may contain one or more goods items.
- One goods item may be related to one or more customs tariff
codes.
- Goods items related to one customs tariff code may be carried
in one or more containers.
- Goods items may reflect either the contractual or operational
description of the goods.
- Pre-carriage (advanced haulage) and/or on-carriage
(destination haulage) of goods items or equipment within one
booking or instruction may take place in different steps, each
step specified with its own transport details group.
- Equipment may have other types of equipment attached to it,
e.g. a temperature control unit attached to a container.
- Equipment and/or goods items may be attached to or
transported on another load or transport device, which as such
may be attached to or transported on yet another load or
transport device, e.g. a container on a chassis on a rail-car.
- Transport devices, which have the ability of powered movement
on their own, are specified in the transport details group.
Other load or transport devices are specified as equipment.
- The expression of packaging for goods items can be expressed
at up to three levels.
The transport sub-working group (D4) has developed
recommendations for a harmonised implementation of this message
through its subgroup ITIGG (International Transport
Implementation Guidelines Group).
Users implementing the message are strongly advised to apply
these recommendations, which may be obtained from the D4
secretariat.

3. TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
3.1 Standard terms and definitions
See UNTDID, Part 4, Chapter 2.3 UN/ECE UNSM - General
Introduction, Section 2.
3.2 Message terms and definitions
A number of generic transport terms are used in this

* MODE OF TRANSPORT: The method of transport used for the
conveyance of goods or persons, e.g. by rail, by road, by sea.
* MEANS OF TRANSPORT: The vehicle used for the transport of
goods or persons, e.g.
aircraft, truck, vessel.

container, four way pallet, mafi trailer.
