Using BOS on air freight documents

The three-letter IATA code BOS is what goes on an air waybill, a booking and a flight schedule for Boston Logan International Airport; the four-letter ICAO code KBOS identifies the same airport in flight plans and air-traffic control and does not appear on cargo paperwork. A forwarder quotes airport-to-airport between two IATA codes unless the booking is door-to-door, so the code fixes where the rate applies.

For a US import, Boston Logan International Airport is also a customs port of entry. The Census Schedule D list names it as port 0417, and that four-digit code β€” not BOS β€” goes in the port field of CBP Form 7501. Airlift coordinates entry filing through our licensed broker network.
