7.- Name, Tax ID, complete address and telephone number of the consignee, or the actual owner of the goods, should this be different from the consignee. Name, Tax ID and complete address of the shipper of goods, and the person to notify upon arrival, as manifested on the Bill of Lading

8.- Full Description of the goods. Generic descriptions that do not properly identify the nature of the goods will not be allowed, for instance: “general cargo”, “dry cargo”, “chemicals”, “perishable food”, “bulk cargo”, “bulk minerals”. If these terms are included transmission will be considered as incorrect.
