PROPOSALS FOR PRACTICAL IMPLEMENTATION OF CARN AND BARCODE
BACKGROUND
What is the purpose of the unique Cargo Reference Number (CARN)? • To eradicate problems associated with duplicate manifest numbers.• To eradicate capturing errors and ensure that electronic manifests are found and retrieved• To speed up gate processing time.
How is a unique Cargo Reference Number (CARN) generated?• CARN is assigned by the Manifest Processing (MPR) system after acceptance of a correct electronic
Road Freight Manifest (RFM).
How is CARN communicated?• Communicated by MPR in a CUSRES message to road carrier / agent who submitted the CUSCAR.
How is CARN intended to be used? • CARN is converted by the carrier to a SARS-specified or permitted barcode which can be printed or
digitally retained for easy scanning at the Gate.• If scanning fails, the short and unique CARN number (AN8) can be used as an input to identify and
retrieve the previously submitted electronic Road Freight Manifest (e-Manifest) for arrival processing purposes.
