Flagship Update
We have made some changes to the B/L Quick Lookup screen. Under the EFLAGS column, you will notice that the “AMENDS” field has been removed and replaced with “DEPARTURE”. This change has been made to reflect if the vessel departure has been filed or not. Also, this should eliminate the confusion of the “ARRIVAL” field showing “arrived” when the vessel departure has been submitted but the vessel itself was not arrived through AMS.

Flagship Tips
We have received many questions regarding entries not being seen until after the vessel is arrived through AMS, though some entries are received in AMS prior to the vessel being arrived. According to CBP, there is a 5 day window that entries may be filed and received through AMS prior to arrival. This five day window is determined from the Estimated Date of Arrival. For example, if the EDA is 10/10/04, entries filed between 10/05/04 and 10/09/04 should be processed and seen in AMS. However, if the entries are made prior to 10/05, you will not see those entries until 10/05 at the earliest. Entries made from 10/09 or later would not be seen until the vessel as been arrived in AMS.
