Shipping line: share your SAM before you file it — every CSN holder checks theirs

Every forwarder whose CSN does not match your SAM costs someone an SAA once the SAM is filed. Share the SAM first, and each CSN holder sees whether theirs matches — while a fix on either side is still free.
In this film
- Share with CSN holders, from the SAM you are about to file
- Your CSN cut-off — set from the arrival your SAM states, changeable
- Every BL read against customs' record: which forwarder holds a CSN on it, and whether it matches your line
- A forwarder on SCMTR is told in its bell and by e-mail; one that is not gets your link
- Tick the BLs you expect a CSN on, and name the forwarder by PAN
- The link, as a forwarder without an account sees it: its own BL only, and the difference
