Automated Manifest System (AMS)

This site has been retired. AutomatedManifest.com no longer offers interactive search. The complete datasets it served are preserved below as free CSV downloads.

The Automated Manifest System (AMS) is a cargo release notification and inventory control system. AMS integrates directly with the US Customs In-Bond and Selectivity systems used at US Customs ports of entry, as well as indirectly with the Automated Broker Interface (ABI). It facilitates quicker release and identification of low-risk shipments, notifies participants electronically when their cargo is released, and simplifies intermodal movement of cargo through the In-Bond process.

AutomatedManifest.com provided a web interface to commonly queried AMS reference data: customs broker and entry filer codes, ABI error messages, and AMS port representative contact details. All three datasets are preserved below.
