Required information submitted before cargo arrival for customs clearance.

What is Advanced Manifest Information (ACI)?

Advanced Manifest Information (ACI) refers to the detailed shipment information that must be submitted to customs authorities before the arrival of goods at a destination. ACI is a key component of customs regulations and security measures in international trade. It includes comprehensive details about the cargo, such as the description of goods, packaging, quantities, consignor, consignee, vessel or flight information, and other relevant data. The submission of ACI allows customs authorities to perform risk assessments, validate compliance with import and export regulations, and facilitate efficient customs clearance processes.  

 

Timely and accurate ACI submission is essential to avoid customs penalties, delays, or other complications in supply chain operations.
