and here it actually appears with SCAC, its companion from the other query:
The United States Bureau of Customs and Border Protection has mandated the use of the SCAC for their Automated Manifest (AMS) and Pre-Arrival Processing (PAPS) Systems.

agree  Michael Barnett: AMS is the airport code for Amsterdam.
37 mins
  -> yes

neutral  pidzej: AMS is the code but is that the answer? and rotterdam is likely just a ship's name, so there may be no Dutch connection there at all// No connection, none, zilch
1 hr
  -> ?

disagree  Milena Sahakian: This is a bill of lading, not airwaybill. MV means motor vessel. No word about airports.
