below will be required to be transmitted by the importer or its agent 24 hours prior

The following ten (10) data elements were selected because of their probative value
and because of their ready availability in current logistics processes.

• Container stuffing location
• Consolidator name and address
• Buyer name and address
• Ship to name and address
• Importer of record number
