eManifest Tracking Feature

A productivity tool that provides real-time alerts and shortcuts for monitoring sensitive manifests.

Overview

The eManifest Tracking Feature allows users to receive real-time updates whenever customs responses are received for a specific manifest.

Instead of manually refreshing or repeatedly checking a status, tracking automatically notifies you via:

  • 📧 Email alerts for every new response.
  • 🚨 On-screen indicators (three red exclamation marks).
  • 🔗 Shortcut links for one-click access.
Selecting "Track eManifest" from the menu

💡 When Should You Use Tracking?

Scenario Why Tracking Helps
Cancelling & Resending You must wait for the "Cancel Accepted" response before resending. Tracking alerts you the second it happens.
Time-Sensitive Shipments Ensures you know immediately if a release or reject occurs.
Waiting for Corrections Prevents delays while waiting for CBSA/CBP to process an amendment.
Multi-Tasking Allows you to work on other files while keeping an eye on urgent ones via the shortcut bar.

Open the ACI or ACE manifest you want to monitor.

  • Hover over the Track button at the top of the page.
