Automated Manifest System (AMS)

The AMS module is a multi-modal cargo inventory and release system that
interacts with other U.S. Customs automated systems providing on-line interfaces
with carriers, port authorities, container freight stations, and freight
forwarders. Multi-lingual capabilities of the AMSQW module
considerably improve quality of data originated in foreign countries.
Ocean AMSQW supports a 24-hour rule that requires cargo manifests to be
submitted to U.S. Customs 24 hours prior to loading of containers. This ruling,
the Container Security Initiative (CSI), is in response to the need to identify
dangerous cargo before it reaches the U.S.

AMSQW facilitates delivery of goods and entry processing and provides
participants with electronic release authorizations to move cargo prior to
arrival. The system reduces reliance on paper documents and speeds the
processing of manifest and waybill data. As a result, cargo remains on the
dock for less time, participants realize faster tracking, and Customs provides
better service to the importing community.
