File Naming Pattern

(a) The TP Approval Message sent by Customs to TP Applicant Agent (like SHA, CHA, Importer, MLO) (Through ICEGATE) will follow the following naming pattern

ICE_<Icegate ID of Agency>_<TP_No>.tp

.tp is the file extension.

Example: Agency Code is LIBRA and TP sequence no is 67, then the file name will be

ICE_LIBRA_67.tp

Where 67 is the transshipment number.

(b) The TP approval Message sent by Customs to Carrier/Transport Agency (Through ICEGATE) will follow the following naming pattern:

ICE_< Icegate ID of Carrier>_<TP_No>.tp

.tp is the file extension.

Example : Carrier Code is CONCOR and TP sequence no is 67, then the file name will be

ICE_CONCOR_67.tp

(c) The TP Approval Message sent by Customs to Custodian (like Port or Terminal Operator) (Through Local EDI) will follow the following naming pattern :

EDI_<Custodian_ID>_<TP_No>.tp

.tp is the file extension.

Example : Custodian (Terminal Operator) code is INNSA1JNPT, then the file name will be

EDI_INNSA1JNPT_67.tp
