eAPIS service to ease customs reporting tasks
The new U.S.

The new U.S. Customs and Border Protection requirement for aircraft operators to provide passenger manifest and aircraft information before departure for all international flights to and from the U.S. should be less of a chore thanks to a new electronic filing service offered jointly by NBAA and Arinc Direct Business Aviation Solutions. The electronic advanced passenger information system (eAPIS) allows operators to provide all the required information online and is fully approved by the agency as a means of compliance.

In addition to submitting data, operators can use the system to modify and store APIS data for future use via secure Arinc servers– a feature that is not available at the APIS portal of the border patrol’s own Web site. Users have access to real-time approval of their APIS transmissions and can make these applications for flights operated under both Part 91 rules and Part 135. Technical support for the system is available 24/7.
