APIS / eAPIS is one of 5 APIs that [Customs and Border Protection](https://apis.io/providers/customs-and-border-protection/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Border Security, Crew, eAPIS, Manifests, and Passengers. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

The Advance Passenger Information System (APIS) collects pre-arrival and pre-departure manifest data on all passengers and crew members flown or sailed into and out of the United States. The eAPIS web portal allows commercial operators and private aircraft and vessel operators to create, manage, and submit APIS manifests. Bulk and partner integrations use UN/EDIFACT PAXLST and CUSRES messages over CBP-approved transmission methods.
