Automated Manifest System (AMS) is an electronic information transmission system operated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Air and ocean shipments into the U.S. require an AMS filing with detailed information about the cargo, as a security measure.

AMS file must be submitted to CBP 24 hours before the ship leaves the port of shipment, physically we try to gain AMS HBL MBL matched 72 hours before vessel ETD.

Inaccuracy can lead to severe penalty up to USD5,000 per violation by CBP.

We used Nasdaq-listed system Descartes to file our AMS, ISF 5, ISF 10, ACI, EMF.
