The '''Send Container Arrival Page''' in BorderConnect’s [https://www.borderconnect.com/us-in-bond-manager/index.htm U.S. In-Bond Manager] allows carriers to electronically report the arrival of a specific container associated with an in-bond shipment.

* An in-bond includes multiple containers

* Only part of the shipment arrives at the destination port 
<p>The <strong>Send Container Arrival Page</strong> in BorderConnect’s [https://www.borderconnect.com/us-in-bond-manager/index.htm U.S. In-Bond Manager] allows carriers to electronically report the arrival of a <strong>specific container</strong> associated with an in-bond shipment.</p>
* CBP requires container-level arrival confirmation 


When an in-bond consists of a single container, it is generally easier to use '''Arrive Entire In-Bond''' instead.
<p>This method is designed for situations where:</p>
<div class="bc-cleanlist">
* An in-bond includes multiple containers.
* Only part of the shipment arrives at the destination port.
* CBP requires container-level arrival confirmation.
</div>


The Container Arrival option can be accessed:
<div class="bc-did-you-know" style="margin-top: 15px;">
<strong>How to Access:</strong><br>
* <strong>From Menu:</strong> Navigate to <strong>U.S. In-Bonds</strong> and select <strong>Arrive Container</strong>.
* <strong>From Report:</strong> Open a specific In-Bond Report and select <strong>Arrive Container</strong> within the Bill of Lading Details section. (<em>Recommended: This auto-fills key shipment details</em>).
</div>


* From the top menu: '''U.S. In-Bonds → Arrive Container''' 
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
* From an in-bond report: Select '''Arrive Container''' within the Bill of Lading Details section 


Launching from the in-bond report automatically fills in key shipment details.
