To support a paper-free environment, the Cargo Interchange Message Procedures (Cargo-IMP) has been converted to an easy-to-use electronic format on a USB key. This interactive application provides faster, easier access to necessary data and each section can be customized to meet your specific needs.
Uniformity, accuracy and economy of cargo data exchange
Cargo data exchange automation between airlines and other parties works much more efficiently if messaging procedures and standards are applied. IATA's CIMP is the standard for exchanging critical cargo operations information.
Jointly developed by IATA, its member airlines and the Air Transport Association of America (ATA), Cargo-IMP is the official message source for specifications concerning space allocation, air waybill, flight manifest, accounting, status, discrepancy, embargo, customs, CASS billing, dangerous goods, allotments and surface transportation. The Cargo-IMP also includes encoding and decoding lists of all approved codes and abbreviations.
The Cargo-IMP contains the up-to-date and historical editions of the Cargo-IMP manual, including carrier messaging capability links and data elements query.
