Question

What is AMS?

Answer

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.
