These things must be added in.

It is compatible with but not the same as the Transport model. Must identify the points where the two join together.

Tim added – Transport Handling unit, has good detail associated with shipment. It’s connected to packaging and should be also delivery schedule. Instructions should be handling instructions. Need handling type and code? In the transport model, with equivilent UBL has handling instruction.
