0.    INTRODUCTION

       This specification provides the definition of the Customs
       express consignment declaration message (CUSEXP) to be used in
       Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners
       involved in administration, commerce and transport.

1.    SCOPE

1.1   Functional Definition

       This message permits the transfer of express consignment data
       to a Customs Administration for the purpose of combining all
       three types of Customs reporting (conveyance report, cargo
       report and Customs Declaration) within a single message.

1.2   Field of Application

       This message may be applied for both national and international
       trade. It is based on universal practice and is not dependent
       on the type of business or industry.

1.3   Principles

       It is envisaged that the Customs Express Consignment
       Declaration Message (CUSEXP) will allow the reporting of
       individual or multiple consignments to a Customs Administration
       at the Master and House Transport Document level. The message
       may be used for either import or export purposes.
       
       The message is transmitted upon arrival of the goods, or where
       national legislation permits, prior to the arrival of the
       conveyance.
