CBP Schedules Webinars for Carriers, Software Developers that Haven't Started M1 Transition

U.S. Customs and Border Protection will hold two Webinars for carriers and software developers who haven't started the transition from AMS to eManifest: Rail and Sea (M1). CBP will shut down AMS on Sept. 29, leaving M1 as the only electronic filing environment.

According to CBP, as of May 31, 2012, 88% of ocean carriers and 47% of automated broker interface (ABI) software developers impacted by the transition to M1 have either completed or are in the on-boarding process. All rail carriers are either in production or currently testing. CBP urges the 12% of the ocean carriers or the 54% of the ABI software developers who aren't yet testing ACE Rail and Sea Manifest to participate in the Webinars.

The first Webinar will be held June 13, from 10-11 a.m. The second one will be June 14 from 2-3 p.m.

The Webinars will focus on the status of e-Manifest: Rail and Sea (M1) for the trade rail and sea carriers, and service providers and both will include the same content. The Webinars will focus on the status of e-Manifest: Rail and Sea (M1) and will include an overview by Cindy Allen and updates by Jim Swanson and Susan Maskell on the status of M1 deployment, decommissioning AMS for rail and sea, and the status of trade testing.
