Please be informed that EVA Airways Cargo now complies with the final rule of required advance electronic presentation of cargo information issued by the Customs of India. The rule requires us to submit accurate and complete cargo information, including HAWB level information, electronically to the India Customs EDI System (ICES). Therefore, EVA has following option for our customers to transmitting HAWB data:

1. Direct data transmission to India by forwarder:
No charge will be incurred if you are certified to transmit HAWB information to ICES directly. In this case, you will be liable for the accuracy of the reported data and the following wording should be inserted in “HANDLING INFORMATION” column on MAWB:
“HAWB INFORMATION HAS BEEN SUBMITTED DIRECTLY TO INDIAN CUSTOMS BY AGENT AND THE 16-DIGIT-AGENTS REG NO. ”

2. Electronic data exchange (EDI):
All HAWB data sent by agents or forwarders electronically to EVA Air for transmission to the ICES system will incur a charge per HAWB. The total amount must be listed on the MAWB as “Other Charges” with the charge code “CG”

When you submit the HAWB information to us electronically, please note the following:
a. If you send FHL/2 messages to EVA Air through the Cargo Community System (CCS), you are required to submit the HAWB information via CCN, US-CCS(SITA), Descartes or Traxon.
