Cargo Messaging StandardsS. Tahir Hasnain5th November, MarseilleEmail: syedt@iata.org
Role of Electronic Messaging in Air Cargo Facilitate Air Cargo end to end business processes including Sales,Operations and Finance. Fulfill Customs Requirements for Advance Cargo Information (ACI) e.g.US-AMS, EU-ICS, CA-ACI etc.Note: The Messaging standards are also used in US-ACAS pilots Compliance with Security Regulations such as electronic ConsignmentSecurity (e-CSD) etc.2
Air Cargo Messaging Standards Two messaging standards are available in the air cargo industry Cargo-IMP (traditional) Cargo-XML (emerging)Developed and Maintained by the specific industry groups Cargo-Data Interchange Task Force (CDITF) Cargo-XML Task Force (CXMLTF)Distributed by IATA through the specific publications Cargo-IMP Manual Cargo-XML Manual and Toolkit3
Cargo-IMP Standards Exist since 1975 - initially used by airlines for cargo interlining Initially exchanged using traditional SITA Type B Messaging Expanded to big forwarders, GHAs and some Customs Admin Hundreds of million of CIMP messages exchanged per year Cargo-IMP Manual 34th edition was produced in 2014 78 Cargo-IMP Messages are available in the latest edition4
Cargo-XML Standards Development started in 2010 Support modern technology and are exchanged over the internet Based on the UN/CEFACT standards and compatible with WCO DM Multimodal and Cross-border Limited adoption by the industry Cargo-XML Manual 3rd edition was produced in 2015 15 Cargo-XML Messages are available in the latest edition5
Industry Cargo-EDI Strategy IATA has stopped producing new editions of Cargo-IMP Manual. Cargo-IMP Manual 34th is the last & final edition. Further developments in the Cargo-XML Messages only. Cargo-XML Manual and Toolkit is maintained.Note: Cargo-IMP Messages can still be used but there will be no new versions.6

C-IMP to Cargo-XML MigrationA Challenge?Tahir SyedManager Cargo Technology, IATASyedt@iata.orgThursday, Nov 5th 201533
Transition to the Cargo-XML How do I support my partnerswho continue to use Cargo-IMP?34
Transition to the Cargo-XML To what extent Cargo-XML andC-IMP are compatible?35
Transition to the Cargo-XML What is the impact of big sizeCargo-XML message onbandwidth of my network?36
Key FundamentalsCargo-XML adoption is highly dependent on your:1. Business partners2. Cargo Management System Setup3. Messaging Framework4. Communication Methodology37
Implementation Strategies Generally, there are two types of Cargo-XML implementations:1. Direct Cargo-XML adoption Both Sender and Recipient exchange Cargo-XML messages2. Transformation between Cargo-IMP and Cargo-XML Either Sender or Recipient is converting from one format to another. Applicable when migrating from Cargo-IMP to Cargo-XML supporting partner that uses a different standard38

Transition Facilitation IATA is facilitating industry transition to Cargo-XML by offering: “Migration Guidelines” between C-IMP and Cargo-XML “Data Length Recommendations” for Cargo-XML “Mapping” between C-IMP and Cargo-XML “White Paper” communicating implementation strategies “Message Samples” for C-IMP and equivalent Cargo-XML “Support Desk” for Cargo-XMLNote: All of above is published in the IATA Cargo-XML Manual and Toolkit and also available on the www.iata.org/cargo-xml40
Basic Components for Conversion1. Character Set2. Field Length3. Field Occurrence4. Structure5. Semantic6. Field Existence7. Data Types8. Message Split41
