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 moduleconsiderably
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 commu
The Automated Manifest System (AMS)
The Automated Manifest System (AMS) is a multi-modular cargo inventory control and release
notification system. AMS interfaces directly with Customs Cargo Selectivity and In-Bond systems, and
indirectly with ABI, allowing faster identification and release of low risk shipments. AMS speeds the flow of
cargo and entry processing and provides participants with electronic authorization to move cargo release
prior to arrival. AMS facilitates the intermodal movement and delivery of cargo by rail and trucks through
the In-bond system. Carriers, port authorities, service bureaus, freight forwarders, and container freight
stations can participate in AMS. AMS 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.
