Common questions about CGM and Air Consol filing.

Yes. FreeIGM lets you generate and download CGM files at no cost. You can self-sign the file and do DIY filing directly on ICEGATE, or use FreeIGM managed filing for faster submission.
A CGM includes the MAWB number, HAWB details (consignee, shipper, pieces, weight, commodity description), origin/destination airports, and flight/arrival information.
Fresh filing is the initial CGM submission. Part filing submits a portion when all HAWB details are not yet available. Amendment filing corrects details like HAWB, weight, pieces, or consignee after the original filing.
After KYC onboarding, FreeIGM completes 99.99% of CGM filings in under 3 minutes, including digital signing, ICEGATE submission, acknowledgement capture, and live status sync.
The CGM/Air Consol details house-level shipments under a MAWB. The Air IGM is the flight-level manifest covering all cargo. Once both are filed and accepted on ICEGATE, customs brokers can begin Bill of Entry preparation.
