Segment Notes:

This segment is used to indicate the transport means, and where necessary, the carrier to be used for the consignment for which a transport instruction is being issued. When used, it is mandatory to indicate the main carriage transport mode in this segment.

Example:
TDT+20++30+31'

Dependency Notes:
DE C228: DE 8179 and DE 8178 are only used when the type of transport must be specifically identified, that is, a generic description such as road transport is unsuitable.
