Proposed New Advance Data Elements For maritime cargo that is destined to remain in the U.S. the data elements listed below will be required to be transmitted by the importer or its agent 24 hours prior to loading the U.S. bound vessel. The following ten (10) data elements were selected because of their probative value and because of their ready availability in current logistics processes. • Manufacturer name and address • Seller name and address • Container stuffing location • Consolidator name and address • Buyer name and address • Ship to name and address • Importer of record number • Consignee number • Country of origin of the goods • Commodity Harmonized Tariff Schedule number (6 digit) In addition to the data elements outlined above, CBP will require ocean carriers to provide two additional data sets to complete the security filing: • Vessel Stow Plan • Container Status Messages
