Introduction to XML Message Creation

Overview

This documentation is designed to provide you with instructions and examples of XML messages that the Supplier and/or Broker can submit to the Kewill Import Compliance application. These XML messages represent a shipment that will contain one or more Commercial Invoices or ProForma Invoices.

Purpose of the XML Message

Purpose

This purpose of the XML message is to provide Commercial Invoice or ProForma Invoice data that represents the shipment in a form that can be loaded into the Import Compliance application.

When to Send the XML Message

Timing

The XML message must be created and sent as follows: Truck Shipment – At least one (1) hour before the expected border crossing. Air Shipment – Prior to the cargo arriving at the destination, or, if a “wheels-up” approach is being used for filing of the Customs Entry, prior to “wheels-up” Ocean Shipment – Best practice is at least one (1) calendar week prior to the arrival of the Vessel at the Port of Unloading.
