AMS Query

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, as well as indirectly with ABI. This allows for faster identification and release of low-risk shipments.
  • provides participants with electronic authorization to move cargo release prior to arrival.
  • facilitates the intermodal movement and delivery of cargo by rail and trucks through the In-Bond system.
  • reduces reliance on paper documents and speeds the processing of Manifest and Waybill data.
The
AMS Query
screen is used for querying AMS or ACE information by an In-Bond number or Bill of Lading number. It also provides the ability to review the history of AMS or ACE postings against a specified Immediate Transfer (IT) or Bill of Lading (BOL). This screen can be accessed by choosing
AMS Query
from the
ABI
menu.
