Reference Documentation
To get acquainted with the standard, refer to the Arrival Notice Introduction.
To understand the Purpose & Scope, User Stories, Use Cases, Endpoint Overview, Business Process Model and Data Overview of the standard, refer to the Arrival Notice Documentation page.
To understand the data structures used by the standard and how they can be mapped to your own organization’s data types, consult the Information Model.
Implementing the Standard
The DCSA Arrival Notice 1.0 standard is designed and is expected to be implemented following the DCSA API Design and Implementation Guidelines 2025.Q4 (formerly named v3.0).
To review the reference implementation of the Arrival Notice standard, created by DCSA to verify the standard and used for measuring the conformance of adopter implementations, consult the Arrival Notice module of the DCSA conformance GitHub repository.
To ensure that your organization becomes a successful adopter in the DCSA Arrival Notice standard API ecosystem, use the DCSA conformance framework periodically throughout your implementation project, to measure the conformance of your implementation and to improve it as needed.
You can use a DCSA conformance sandbox as a counterpart in your development, since it allows you to easily test the most relevant conformance scenarios that your application needs to support. The Arrival Notice standard includes the list of conformance scenarios and validations that adopters are expected to support.
The DCSA Arrival Notice OpenAPI specification is available publicly on SwaggerHub.
Publisher Implementation
To implement the Arrival Notice standard API as a publisher, use your organization’s technology stack to implement the “GET /arrival-notices” endpoint of the Arrival Notice OpenAPI specification.
Subscriber Implementation
To receive Arrival Notices from any publisher, use your organization’s technology stack to build the “POST /arrival-notices” endpoint of the Arrival Notice OpenAPI specification.
To optionally receive Arrival Notice notifications from any publisher, use your organization’s technology stack to implement the “POST /arrival-notice-notifications” endpoint of the Arrival Notice OpenAPI specification.
Use the publisher’s proprietary process to register your endpoint(s) for receiving arrival notices and/or notifications.
