What is an E-Manifest?
Tailwind has partnered with Oceanwide Inc. on a solution to submit electronic E-manifests to
US Customs and Border Protection Agency (CBP) in order to expedite border-crossings for your
southbound international shipments. The ACE E-Manifest integration module provides the ability
to complete the necessary information and submit the form to Oceanwide electronically for submission to CBP.
|
How does it work?
An E-Manifest can be transmitted to CBP in 3 steps:
- A dispatcher enters standard shipment information into TAILWIND™ CMS.
- The dispatcher then clicks the "Send ACE E-Manifest" menu item to send the manifest data to Oceanwide™'s Truck AMS website.
- Using the Oceanwide™ website, the dispatcher performs a final edit check, makes any corrections or additions,
and transmits the manifest data electronically to CBP.

When does it go into effect?
As of January 25th, 2007, the filing of e-manifests for trucks is mandatory in Washington, Arizona and selected ports in North Dakota (Pembrina, Neche, Walhalia, Maida, Hannah, Saries, Hansboro).
On April 19th, 2007, e-Manifests will be mandatory in the second group: all land border ports of entry in the
states of Texas, California, and New Mexico.
CBP will release additional notices regarding mandatory e-Manifest dates for additional ports in the Federal Register
90 days in advance of implementation.
Logistics Management
Oceanwide™ was selected by TAILWIND™ as our E-Manifest partner based on their team of
experts who for many years have provided and supported electronic connectivity to a number of CBP
automated trade systems. Together, we have developed an E-Manifest option that is quick and efficient
by making use of data that is already available in TAILWIND™'s database.
Oceanwide™ works closely with US and CDN customs, ensuring that you are always in compliance,
so that you can have peace of mind while focusing on what your company does best. Truck E-Manifest
includes advanced alerting functionality, unlimited storage and most importantly,
it is fully integrated with CMS.
If you are currently moving goods across any of the borders listed above, contact us to learn how you can
get registered and ready to meet this requirement. The dispatcher is ultimately responsible for the accurate
transmission of the manifest, not the broker, the exporter, or the importer so it is very important that the
manifest is done right and on time. For more information visit the CBP or download our ACE manual (click here for  reader). |
