As prescribed in 47.303-10(90) insert the following clause:
SHIPMENTS DIRECT TO PORT TERMINALS FOR EXPORT (SEP 2007) - DLAD
(a) Contractor agrees to ship within the shipping period in the export release (when such release is required) for semiperishable subsistence, or in the contract/order for perishable subsistence. The contractor shall be responsible for any additional charges that may accrue at the port terminal due to nonacceptance because of untimely delivery.
(b) Transportation Control Number (TCN).
The principal means of export shipment identification is the 17 digit alphanumeric code known as the TCN, e.g., AK4WC 15090 7800 XAX.
(1) Configuration of the first 15 digits shall be set forth in the contract. When a determination is made to use seavan containers for semiperishable acquisitions, the responsible transportation officer shall furnish an additional TCN for use solely in the marking and control of the seavan.
(2) The last 2 digits shall be inserted by the contractor. The 16th digit shall be used to identify the partial and/or complete shipment. The 17th digit shall always be “X”.
(i) If only one load constitutes a complete shipment, the 16th digit will be “X”.
(ii) If there are 25 carloads/truckloads or less with the same TCN, the 16th digit shall reflect each partial shipment utilizing the letter “A” for the first load, “B” for the second, etc., except that the letter “X” shall not be used and the letter “Z” shall always be used to identify the final shipment.
(iii) When there are more than 25 carloads/truckloads, an additional TCN shall be provided by the responsible transportation officer to identify separately the 25th and each subsequent partial, including the last partial. The final shipment shall be indicated by using “Z” as the 16th digit in the TCN provided.
(c) Notice of Shipment.
On the day shipment is made, contractor shall send a notice to the contracting officer who awarded the contract and to the DCMA administrative contracting officer when the contract has been assigned to DCMA for administration. The telegram shall indicate the contract number, purchase request number, quantity shipped, method of shipment, name of carrier and bill(s) of lading number(s).
(d) Advance Notice of Proposed Shipment.
The contractor shall provide the following information to the responsible transportation officer when the number of pieces, weight or cube for proposed shipments is other than set forth in the contract:

(9) Name of contractor.

Such information must be furnished 10 days in advance of shipment if shipping point is outside the port terminal area or 3 days in advance for shipments originating in the port terminal area.
(e) Documentation to Accompany all Seavan Shipments.
Four copies of a document showing the contents of the van, and including the words “date stuffed” with such date, will be placed in a waterproof envelope marked “milstamp documentation” and attached either to the interior of the loading door of the van or to one of the packages visible immediately upon opening. (This document may be any one of the following: contract, delivery order, packing/loading list, DD Form 250, transportation control and movement document (TCMD), bill of lading or other document which identifies the contents.)
