This Draft Standard for Trial Use contains the format and establishes the data contents of the U.S. Customs Automated Manifest Archive Status Transaction Set (354) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. The transaction set can be used by U.S.
Customs to inform carriers, terminal operators, port authorities, and service centers that the manifest for a specific vessel or voyage is going to be removed from the system. This means that either all bills of lading on a manifest have been reconciled (or closed) or that a number of them are still open and will be reconciled manually.
