Here is the email I received from my e-Freight evangelist, Mr. Michael White:

Dear Mick, Chuck, Jim, Alan and Jim,
Your recent support of our meeting with China Customs and CAAC in Los Angeles was very well received by the senior officials in attendance.
These efforts are quite challenging and sometimes take some time to ascertain results.
We have been advised by our office in Geneva that Shanghai Customs will begin allowing the use of the e-Air Waybill in and out of that airport in the next few days. We are also waiting to hear about other major China ports will also be allowing the use of eAWB.
I do not believe that the decision to allow the implementation in one of the largest air cargo locations would have happened without your assistance during the meeting. It was evident that your participation helped our industry in spreading the efforts of moving toward full eCargo.

Thank you again for helping to make this meeting a success!

Best regards,
Michael R. White
