Goods description tab of an Import consol container
The Description of goods tab is not activated until all required fields in the order (on the activated tabs) have been filled.
The import consol goods description may only contain the container number and the container packaging code as well as the quantity and weight.
The shipment details are those of the (individual) files within the container.
These are all individual orders and have their own file numbers.
- Whether you enter these individual orders as sub files of the consol or create separate file numbers through other number ranges depends on your company's way of processing.
The buttons Goods and Dangerous goods are the only ones that are active on the Description of goods tab.
For a consol container, you can use goods description versions M, H, S, and Z.
The container button is enabled once you enter a container packaging code.
The Dangerous goods button cannot for port clearance but for the transport routes for oncarriage via rail, truck or repositioning.

More information on the processing of on-carriage transports via road or rail can be found in TMS Road.
