The airline having another airline and/or air express operator as co-loaders, must submit first e-IFM (even a single airway bill) to allow co-loaders to submit their e-IFM to BOC E2M System. 4. The electronic filing of entry is not allowed if the e-IFM and e-CCM is not submitted in BOC E2M System. The need to comply with Section 9 and Section 10 of this Order is mandatory otherwise the processing and release of cargo will be delayed. 5.

During the submission of e-CCM, the airline, air express operator, airfreight forwarder and de-consolidator with more than ten (10) HAWB have the option not to indicate the MAWB so that the declared total gross weight of the HAWB shall not be summed up and compared with the gross weight of the MAWB. This is to avoid delay in the submission of e-CCM. However, it is a mandatory requirement for the airline, air express operator, airfreight forwarder and de-consolidator to indicate the MAWB in any of the following fields of e-AWB/HAWB such as: 4.17 Specific Description of the Goods or 4.18 Marks and Numbers or 4.21 Handling Information, if blank or no handling information is indicated (Please refer to Section 4 of this Order).
