In order to meet the requirements of the 2002 Trade Act all trucks crossing into the US will need to submit Advance Manifest Information through the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Truck e-manifest (AMS) service. Testing of CBP's ACE portal and third party manifest submission software has already begun and a full roll-out of the system is expected in the coming months.
Although CBP offers truck manifest submission through an interface on their own website, no integration options are available and all shipment information must be manually re-entered. Oceanwide representatives witnessed a demonstration in Blaine, Washington where the data entry for a problem free shipment with eight consignees took 90 minutes to complete.
