The COMMISSION box appears only on the Agents and Auditors coupons of a manual ticket.

The following commission codes can be entered in the COMMISSION box when authorized by a carrier - these are the only valid codes acceptable: 0 3 3.5 4 4.5 5 5.5 6 6.5 7 7.5 8 8.5 9 9.5 10 10.5 11 11.5 12 12.5 13 13.5 14 14.5 15 15.5 16 16.5 17 17.5 18 18.5 19 19.5 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40

The appropriate code should be written in the shaded portion of the COMMISSION box. For example, 10.5% is:
COMMISSION

When a code with a decimal is used, show only one decimal place (tenths - 10.5) NOT two decimal places (10.50); otherwise, you may receive a $10.50 commission instead of the correct 10.5%. In certain instances, commission cannot be entered as a straight percentage and an actual dollar amount must be calculated and entered in the COMMISSION box. COMMISSION in Excess of 40% MUST BE SHOWN AS A DOLLAR AMOUNT. DOLLAR amounts must appear in the un-shaded portion of the box and CENTS must appear in the shaded portion. For example: Commission Amount of $10.50

INTERNATIONAL CODE - X
An International Code X is required to identify international sales. The term domestic air passenger transportation means air transportation furnished by one or more carriers between points within the United States and/or between the United States and Canada and between points in Canada, only when air transportation is via a point in the United States or on a flight which takes off from and returns to a point in the United States. For this purpose, travel to the United States territories and possessions such as Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, Midway and Wake Islands, IS NOT considered domestic. All sales not considered domestic are to be considered International and must be identified by placing an X on the document. On manual documents, the international X is placed to t he right of the carrier name in the Carrier Validation box.

SELF SALES CODE - S
A Self Sales Code is required anytime an industry agent issues a traffic document on behalf of itself in accordance with the provisions of Section VII of the Agent Reporting Agreement. For this purpose, the agent will place the self-sales code S on the documents. The S will be placed to the right of the carrier name in the Carrier Validation box. For example:
