If the permit to transfer is approved electronically through Air AMS, does a paper copy of the permit to transfer need to be presented to CBP for authorization before the cargo may be so transferred?
A. No. The electronic permit to transfer eliminates the need to present CBP a copy of the permit to transfer document. Q. If cargo is transferred to a Container Freight Station (CFS), Express Consignment Carrier Facility (ECCF) or other another air carrier that is not an Air AMS participant in the port, does Air AMS continue to transmit electronic freight status notification messages? A. No. Once the cargo is transferred to a facility that is not an Air AMS participant, Air AMS will no longer transmit freight status notifications. The facility that is now the cargo custodian must receive paper delivery authorization documents for the release of the cargo.
