When \mathbf h∈ \mathbb Z3, denote by B(X;\mathbf h) the number of integral solutions to the system ∑i=16(xij-yij)=hj (1≤ j≤ 3), with 1≤ xi,yi≤ X (1≤ i≤ 6). When h1≠ 0 and appropriate local solubility conditions on \mathbf h are met, we obtain an asymptotic formula for B(X;\mathbf h), thereby establishing a subconvex local-global principle in the inhomogeneous cubic Vinogradov system. We obtain similar conclusions also when h1=0, h2≠ 0 and X is sufficiently large in terms of h2. Our arguments involve minor arc estimates going beyond square-root cancellation.
