Using CHS on air freight documents

The three-letter IATA code CHS is what goes on an air waybill, a booking and a flight schedule for Charleston International Airport; the four-letter ICAO code KCHS 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.

The Census Schedule D list does not name Charleston International Airport as a separate airport port of entry, so this page assigns no CBP code. Customs ports are often listed by city or district; the CBP Schedule D directory lists every one.
