      1. Segment table

This specification provides the definition of the Cargo/goods handling and movement message (HANMOV) to be used in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners involved in administration, commerce and transport.

A message from a party to a warehouse/distribution centre identifying the handling services and where required the movement of specified goods, limited to warehouses within the jurisdiction of the distribution centre.

The Cargo/goods handling and movement message may be used for both national and international applications. It is based on universal practice related to administration, commerce and transport, and is not dependent on the type of business or industry.

This message addresses the indirect flow of goods between seller and buyer through a warehouse/distribution centre.

The functions of this message are limited to:

• assembly/disassembly of goods and products, without interfering in the manufacturing process
• (re-)packing/unpacking
• control of goods associated with the handling services but not interfering in the manufacturing process
• marking and labelling on the packages of the goods but does not extend to the marking and labelling of the products
• movement of goods limited between warehouses within the jurisdiction of the distribution centre
• preparation of goods for shipment
• storage
• clearance
• goods inspection
• hazardous material handling

The movement of specified goods relates here to the area where control of the goods is to be exercised from the arrival of the goods to the distribution centre until the departure of the goods from the distribution centre to another party. It can include movements between warehouses within the jurisdiction of the distribution centre. Other movements of goods will be given by the relevant instruction messages, i.e. IFTMIN (Instruction message) and Instruction For Despatch (message under development).

The functions Assembly/Disassembly are meant to make the goods ready for delivery to the final customer, they are not part of the actual manufacturing or assembly process.

• Goods items may or may not be containerized.
• A goods item may be in one or pieces of equipment, and a single equipment may contain one or more goods items.
• One goods item and/or line item may be related to one or more customs tariff codes.
• Goods items may reflect either the contractual or operational description of the goods.
• Equipment may have other types of equipment attached to it, e.g. a temperature control unit attached to a container.
• Equipment and/or goods items may be attached to another load or transport device, which as such may be attached to yet another load or transport device, e.g. a container on a chassis on a railway wagon.
• Transport devices, which have the ability of powered movement on their own, are specified in the transport details group. Other load or transport devices are specified as equipment.
• The expression of packaging for goods items in the GID segment can be expressed at up to three levels.

A number of generic transport terms are described in Section 3.2.

See UNTDID, Part 4, Chapter 2.3 UN/ECE UNSM - General Introduction, Section 1.

See UNTDID, Part 4, Chapter 2.3 UN/ECE UNSM - General Introduction, Section 2.

A number of generic transport terms are used in this specification, to be described as:

• MODE OF TRANSPORT: The method of transport used for the conveyance of goods or persons, e.g. by rail, by road, by sea.
• MEANS OF TRANSPORT: The vehicle used for the transport of goods or persons, e.g. aircraft, truck, vessel.
• TYPE OF MEANS OF TRANSPORT: The type of vehicle used in the transport process, e.g. wide body, tank truck, passenger vessel.
• EQUIPMENT: Material resources necessary to facilitate the transport and handling of cargo. Transport equipment does under the given circumstances not have the ability to move by its own propulsion (e.g. sea container, trailer, unit load device, pallet).
• TYPE OF EQUIPMENT: The type of material used, e.g. 40 feet container, four way pallet, mafi trailer.

Syntactical notes

The use of this message is not dependent on when the transfer of ownership of the materials/goods takes place between the seller and the buyer, and whether it is customs cleared or not (i.e. bonded warehouse). It does not cover however the situation of the goods: in this case there is no more indirect flow of goods, since the distribution centre is acting as a seller.

A line item group is used to convey information regarding articles. A goods item group is used to convey information regarding a number of articles packed for shipment.

The following table indicates the possible use of the various segment groups in the message in relation to the above functions. In one message several of the above functions can be combined.

FUNCTION TDT LIN GID EQD

These handling functions are indicated on message top level (HAN segment) and apply to all line items (LIN-group) and/or goods items (GID-group) in the message. Additional handling instructions related to goods items and/or line items must be specified in the goods and do not overrule the handling function specified on message level.
