When materiel is shipped via the DTS to an OCONUS destination (DTC 9 or 7), the shipper is responsible for sending advance notices of incoming shipments to the Security Cooperation Office in the receiving country. These documents include the DD1348-1, Single Line Item Release/Receipt Document; DD 250, Materiel Inspection and receiving Report or Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) equivalent; or DD1149, Requisition and Invoice/Shipping Document; ocean bills of lading; reports of shipment (REPSHIP) messages; and cargo traffic messages. It is necessary for these documents to be received in country prior to the arrival of the freight in order for the SCO to coordinate with the purchasing customer to clear the materiel through customs. These documents must be sent to the TAC 5 or 6 address in the MAPAD. When no TAC 5 or 6 address is listed for the applicable MAPAC, the documents should be sent to the same TAC 1 or 2 address as the shipment itself.
