The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has clarified Advance Passenger Information System (APIS) guidance for outbound international travel, NBAA reported. Under the revised guidance, CBP explains that crews should retransmit manifest data when changes are anticipated such as traveler additions or substitutions, tail number alterations, or time adjustments that exceed a 60-minute window.

Further, NBAA advised, operators should contact the local CBP port to cancel the original clearance and to confirm the updated manifest. Operators should still retransmit manifest data even after CBP business hours but then call to confirm or explain the changes once a port reopens.
