Edifact
A standard data format known as United Nations/Electronic Data Interchange for
Administration, Commerce, and Trade (UN/EDIFACT) was adopted by the United
Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE). A version of the UN/EDIFACT
Passenger List Message (PAXLST) set has been codified by WCO and IATA for
worldwide use by all scheduled aircraft operators and border control authorities.
Additional PAXLST segments, data elements, and code values have been defined by
DHS as necessary to meet the requirements of U.S. regulations.
