It can be accessed from the U.S. In-Bonds menu by selecting Search In-Bond Status Queries.[1] The page is commonly used to review recent CBP responses, locate a previous status query, or gather the query history for a specific in-bond shipment over time.

For more information about sending in-bond status queries to CBP, see the Send In-Bond Status Query Page and the In-Bond Dashboard guide.

BorderConnect’s U.S. In-Bond Manager allows users to electronically report in-bond arrivals, exports, and port diversions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).[2] CBP explains that electronic in-bond requests can be filed through ACE using the Automated Broker Interface (ABI), known as QP, to update shipment records.[3]

Sending New Status Queries

The buttons above the search options allow users to send a new status query from the search page.

Button Description
Send In-Bond Status Query Opens the Send In-Bond Status Query Page, where the user can enter an in-bond number and send the status query to CBP. CBP normally responds shortly after transmission with an in-bond report or updated status.
Query Bill of Lading Sends a Bill of Lading based status query for an in-bond shipment.
Query Air Waybill Sends an Air Waybill based status query for an in-bond shipment. The user can enter the Air Waybill Number and, when applicable, a House Air Waybill Number.

Use these buttons when the user needs the most current CBP information for an in-bond shipment. A new query can help confirm whether a shipment is on file, arrived, exported, cancelled, or in another CBP status before the user performs additional in-bond actions.

Search Section

The Search section allows the user to search for in-bond status queries by in-bond entry number or by the date range when the query was sent. By default, the page displays status queries with a Date Sent Between range from one week ago to the present day.[1]

By changing the search options, users can search for any in-bond status query stored in BorderConnect. Common searches include all queries for a specific in-bond number, all queries sent during a particular date range, or the complete query history for a shipment's lifecycle.

Button Description
Search Searches using the entered options and displays matching results in the In-Bond Status Query List section.
Reset Clears the other search options and resets the date range to the default setting of one week ago through the present day.
Clear Clears all search options so new criteria can be entered.

Searching by in-bond entry number is useful when investigating a specific shipment or comparing multiple CBP responses over time. Searching by date range is useful for reviewing recent activity, auditing user actions, or finding queries sent during a known operational window.

The In-Bond Status Query List section displays the results generated by the search options. Each result includes key details such as the send date, response date, query number, status, and the user who sent the status query.[1]

Use the View link to open the In-Bond Status Query Details Page for more information about a specific CBP response. If more than one page of results is available, use the arrow icons to move through the additional pages.

The list section is useful for confirming whether CBP responded to a query and for reviewing the history of status checks performed by different users. This can help identify when a shipment status was last confirmed before an arrival, export, diversion, or other in-bond update was transmitted.
