APIS / eAPIS
The Advance Passenger Information System (APIS) collects pre-arrival and pre-departure manifest data on all passengers and crew members flown or sailed into and out of the United States. The eAPIS web portal allows commercial operators and private aircraft and vessel operators to create, manage, and submit APIS manifests. Bulk and partner integrations use UN/EDIFACT PAXLST and CUSRES messages over CBP-approved transmission methods.
