0. INTRODUCTION
This specification provides the definition of the Customs
conveyance report message (CUSREP) to be used in Electronic
Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners involved in
administration, commerce and transport.
1. SCOPE
1.1 Functional Definition
This Customs Conveyance Report Message (CUSREP) permits the
transfer of data from a carrier to a Customs administration for
the purpose of meeting Customs reporting requirements in
respect of the means of transport on which cargo is carried.
1.2 Field of Application
The Customs conveyance report 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
It is envisaged that the Customs Conveyance Report Message may
be initiated by the carrier to report details of the means of
transport on which cargo is conveyed to a Customs
administration. The message is transmitted upon arrival of the
vessel, flight, etc., or where national legislation permits,
prior to arrival. The data provides a means of establishing the
basis of a cargo inventory report for the conveyance in
question. Details of individual consignments carried on the
conveyance will be subsequently transmitted to Customs using a
CUSCAR message or a series of such messages. It also allows
Customs to undertake selectivity processing in order to select
high risk conveyances and shipments requiring examination.
The message embodies reporting requirements of all modes of
transport. Each message covers the data requirements for one
conveyance. The message may be used for reporting empty
containers as well as numbers of passengers and crew.
