How should a completed AMC Form 33 be distributed?

The correct approach for distributing a completed AMC Form 33 aligns with established protocols for air cargo documentation. Attaching the form to the number one container of cargo, the originator's file, and the ACA (Air Cargo Account) or CSB (Cargo Service Branch) ensures that all necessary parties have access to the critical information contained in the form. This distribution method maintains proper chain-of-custody practices and facilitates clear communication among involved stakeholders regarding the shipment.

By placing the completed form with the cargo, it ensures that handlers and subsequent processing entities can verify shipment details, address any issues that may arise during transit, and uphold accountability throughout the supply chain. The inclusion of the form in the originator's file serves as a record-keeping measure, safeguarding compliance and operational integrity.

This method of distribution also helps streamline operations and reduces the chances of miscommunication or operational errors, which can occur if information is not readily accessible to all relevant parties involved in the shipment process.
