Sending Status Queries

One of the primary functions of the dashboard is to initiate tracking for in-bonds created by other parties (e.g., brokers).

Send In-Bond Status Query

Located at the top left of the dashboard, just above the advanced search options.

1. Type in your In-Bond Number. 2. Click Send In-Bond Status Query to CBP. 3. In about a minute, CBP will respond, creating an In-Bond Report.

Best Practice: It is recommended that you do this as soon as you are aware of the in-bond number (e.g., when the broker advises it is on file). This ensures the in-bond appears on your dashboard so you can track it throughout its lifecycle.

Search Results & Reports

Below the search options, the dashboard displays a list of In-Bond Reports based on your criteria.

What is an In-Bond Report?

An in-bond report is a summary of everything known about an in-bond on your account. It combines data from:

In-bond status queries.
Electronic reports (QP, Arrivals, Exports) you've sent to CBP.
Updates from ACE eManifests on your account.

Each row shows the in-bond entry number, current status, type, bill of lading number, and the last update date. To view additional details, click the View link or anywhere on the row to open the full details page.
