Location of goods codes
The Location of Goods field is what tells TSW where to send the delivery notifications.
A ‘Location of goods’ refers to the premises where the consignment will be held awaiting clearance. This could be a port or a freight forwarder's store. The premises must be both a CCA and a MPI Transitional Facility (TF), but you can use either premises code in the Location of goods field. For valid ports, you can also use UNLOCODES e.g. NZAKL.
A valid premises code must always be shown in the ‘Location of goods’ field.
An UNLOCODE should be shown when the location of the shipment is the port of loading/discharge the shipment is departing/arriving by sea.
This location will be electronically notified when the consignment clearance or movement is approved.
