What happens to the cargo after the vessel discharges it at the Indian gateway port decides the CSN's movement code, its ports, its onward leg and its transhipper. Give the destination; the form works out the rest.
In this film
- A CFS at the port (INNSA1AGL1): local clearance (LC) — any CFS under the port's own station, however far the truck drives. Next port and receipt: the CFS's port. No transhipper named at Nhava Sheva
- An ICD (ICD Tughlakabad, INTKD6): TI, the genuine onward movement inland — next port and receipt the ICD, the onward leg by rail, the cargo type still IM
- The transhipper: the rail operator, picked from those at this port, by its PAN — and the bond it files under here, filled from it
- A house bill bound for a foreign port: TR + TC, foreign transhipment. One box can carry bills with three different codes

- Transhippers, CFSs and bond numbersWho the transhipper is, where a CFS code comes from, and why the same operator files under a different bond at every port.
- Cargo type, movement and consolidationCargo type, cargo movement, the consolidation indicator and the prior-declaration flag are checked as one combination. Which ones are legal.
