Viewing the Send In-Bond Arrival Message page with the Master Bill of Lading field highlighted.

The Send Bill of Lading Arrival Page is a page in BorderConnect U.S. In-Bond Manager used to electronically report an in-bond arrival to CBP by bill of lading.

This page can be accessed by hovering over U.S. In-Bonds and selecting Arrive Bill of Lading, or by clicking the Arrive Bill of Lading option from the Bill of Lading Details section of the In-Bond Report Details Page. It is easier to complete from the in-bond report when possible, because this pre-fills some of the fields.

When To Use Bill of Lading Arrival

It is possible to report the arrival of one portion of an in-bond using the bill of lading number. For in-bonds that have multiple bills of lading, this notifies CBP that only a portion of the in-bond has arrived at the destination port.

Scenario Recommended Action
Multiple bills of lading on one in-bond Use Arrive Bill of Lading to report the specific bill of lading that has arrived.
Only part of the freight has arrived Use Arrive Bill of Lading for the portion that is present.
Single bill of lading on the in-bond This is effectively the same as arriving the entire in-bond, so it is recommended to use the entire in-bond arrival option instead.

Reporting Arrivals Using Bill of Lading

To arrive by bill of lading, the user can select the option under Send WP Request on the In-Bond Report Details Page, or select it from the U.S. In-Bonds menu.

When arriving the in-bond by bill of lading, the fields are the same as the regular in-bond arrival message except that the Master Bill of Lading field is added. This is the bill of lading number that the user wants to arrive on the in-bond. When arriving by bill of lading from the in-bond report, this field will be pre-filled.
