For containerised movements this is the combined value for tare weight and gross weight and must be submitted to the ocean carrier before shipment can take place, covered under the regulations
Each load in Traqa has a status
OPEN (a scheduled load yet to take place)
COMPLETED (a load that has taken place)
CLOSED (a load that never took place)
In the normal flow loads should transition from OPEN to COMPLETED, there is no facility to delete a load, if it has not yet taken place it will move to CLOSED after an expiry period past the scheduled loading date.
Updates to load plans can be made by re-sending using the POST endpoint and re-using the original loading reference. This will not be applied unless the load is OPEN.
