DCSA-SHIPMENT-INSTRUCTION

DCSA shipping instruction for BoL.

Definition

DCSA SI v3.0 supersedes the traditional Bill of Lading Instruction (BLI). POST /shipping-instructions ties confirmed booking to final references. States: RECEIVED, PENDING UPDATE, UPDATE CONFIRMED, CONFIRMED, COMPLETED. Before eBL became standard, SI was submitted by fax/email ; DCSA digitalises via native JSON.

Origin

DCSA SI v1.0 published 2022 ; v3.0 aligned with eBL in 2024.

Example in context

After CMA CGM booking confirmation, the shipper sends POST /shipping-instructions with Consignee and 200 detailed SKU references for eBL generation.
