How does e-Manifest work when my truck arrives at the border?

Posted by Jason Berberich on December 30, 2006

Currently, when a truck approaches the primary booth, the inspector pulls up the e-Manifest information via the primary license plate number of the tractor/vehicle. The inspector then may review the shipments on that e-Manifest as though he or she were working from a paper manifest. In the future, Customs will use transponders carried by vehicles to determine the specific vehicle and pull up the e-Manifest on their screen.
