Custom authorities exchange this transaction with authorized trading partners, including importers, exporters, customs brokers and custom agents, terminal operators, carriers, and service providers. The transaction provides updates throughout the customs clearance process. Customs authorities generate an EDI 350 transaction whenever the customs status of a shipment changes. A shipment can receive multiple EDI 350 transactions as customs processing continues. Customs Status Information communicates shipment statuses such as: - Cargo release - Cargo hold - Inspection - Other customs dispositions The transaction uses standardized EDI segments and data elements to exchange customs status information between customs, transportation, and supply chain management systems. This standardized structure enables consistent communication between trading partners regardless of their internal applications. Using Customs Status Information helps organizations: - Receive timely updates on customs processing activities. - Reduce manual communication and data entry errors. - Improve data accuracy through standardized electronic messaging. - Monitor shipment status with near real-time visibility. - Respond quickly to customs actions. - Coordinate transportation, terminal, and warehouse operations. - Support regulatory compliance. - Minimize shipment delays. - Improve supply chain visibility and operational efficiency. ## Customs Status Information (X12) The Customs Status Information X12 format communicates customs processing and clearance status updates for import and export shipments between customs authorities and authorized supply chain partners. ![](/sites/default/files/tech_comms/mpl/Content/Resources/Images/global_images/note_tip_24x24.png) Contact your TraceLink Services representative for more information about integrating with this message. - **Message Type**: MPC\_CUSTOMS\_STATUS\_INFORMATION - **X12 Format**: X12 350 - **Transform Names**: - B2B\_EDI\_X12\_350\_CustomsStatusInformation\_IB\_V1 - B2B\_EDI\_X12\_350\_CustomsStatusInformation\_OB\_V1 [![Closed](/sites/default/files/tech_comms/mpl/Skins/Default/Stylesheets/Images/transparent.gif)Guidelines](#) | Input Element | Occurs | Length | Description | Example | |---|---|---|---|---| | ISA | 1…1 | - | ISA interchange envelope. | - | | | ISA01 | 1…1 | 2/2 | Qualifier for authorization control number in ISA02.
