eAPIS Requirements

eAPIS needs to be on file prior to arrival

The Electronic Advance Passenger Information System (eAPIS) is a user-friendly, web-based interface designed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Commercial carriers and the general aviation community use this system to provide required information that is needed by CBP. The eAPIS functionality includes the submission of notices of arrival and/or departure and traveler manifests (crew and passenger) to CBP, the transmission of master crew lists to TSA and the ability to view carrier reports.

You must file an APIS when arriving from a foreign area (international) and departing to a foreign area. You do not have to file an APIS when arriving/or departing from or the United States or Puerto Rico.
