Recapping ONE’s Advanced Manifest Submissions (AMS) Regulations

Ocean Network Express aims to achieve best practices by continuously providing high-quality services and smooth CY-CY shipment deliveries while maintaining the importance of compliance with regulations for shipments to countries with Advanced Manifest Submission rules implemented. Effectively current and ongoing protocols, for shipments to countries with AMS rules, cargo cannot proceed to be loaded:

• If Shipping Instructions are received after manifests have been submitted to customs, or
• If missing/incomplete data on Shipping Instructions for shipments to AMS results in the advanced manifest submission being rejected by customs.

In the event cargo has been received at CY but cannot be loaded, all associated costs will be for the account of the cargo.

The AMS Rules and the SI cut-off needed to comply with country laws are as follows.

1. For China, US/Canada, UK/Europe, South Africa, Israel FROB, Turkey, Mexico:
   • Manifests need to be completed and submitted with the relevant customs authority no later than 24 hours prior to vessel arrival at the port of loading.
