With immediate effect, please ensure that the following mandatory data are transmitted for each shipper and consignee in the FWB (XFWB) message and FHL (XFZB) prior to cargo acceptance, in the shipper and consignee record: 

1.     Shipper Phone Number 

2.     Consignee Phone Number 

With regards to the other mandated data fields (Shipper Account Number, Shipper Account Issuer, Shipper Email, Consignee Email), they are currently not covered by industry standard messaging. We ask that our customers review the new data fields and prepare their IT applications to be able to submit the required data in the format to be advised by IATA (International Aviation Transport Association).
