How should cargo from consolidators be manifested in AMS by carriers/NVOCCs?
Consolidators are in the business of consolidating cargo for one consignee from multiple vendors, as opposed to NVOCCs who consolidate cargo for many shippers to many consignees. CBP has authorized NVOCCs to participate in Sea AMS, but not consolidators. Since, CBP has not yet defined “Shipper” and Consolidators were not addressed in the 24-hour final rule, in the interim, CBP will accept the Consolidators complete name and address in the “shipper field”. The Consolidators name and/or address should not appear in the consignee field.
