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, and indirectly with ABI, allowing faster identification and release of low risk shipments.
AMS 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. AMS reduces reliance on paper documents and speeds the processing of manifest and waybill data.
e214s must be submitted to CBP with information exactly as it appears in AMS, otherwise the e214 will be rejected.
This feature allows you to query information in AMS by In-Bond number or by Bill of Lading (BOL) number to confirm data prior to submission of e214 data. It also provides the ability to review the history of AMS postings against a particular IT or BOL.
Responses are not limited to your EIN. All information will be available for review, regardless of Importer of Record or Consignee.
