The Automated Manifest System (AMS) is an electronic information transmission system operated by U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP). Air and ocean shipments into the U.S. require an AMS filing with detailed information about the cargo, as a security measure.
An AMS fee will be charged per Bill of Lading (BOL)/Airway Bill (AWB). Either the consignee or supplier must cover the fee.
