To begin, select message type F11 to submit a complete dataset, and proceed to fill out the five tabs with the following required information:

For consolidated cargo at the master level, the goods description can be replaced with "detailed goods description as provided from the house level" if house-level details are filed. If not, the carrier will need to amend the ENS filing.
No dummy commodity codes should be used; a valid 6-digit HS code is required.
The gross mass at the master level must include all house consignments under that master document.
Detailed information for each house consignment must be provided without consolidation.
