Your Gateway to Effortless Cross-Border Trade

In the world of trucking and logistics, border delays can cost time, money, and reputation. That’s why thousands of carriers across North America trust AVAAL’s AEM (AVAAL eManifest Portal) for their ACE (U.S.) and ACI (Canada) eManifest filings.

AVAAL’s platform is fully integrated with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) — ensuring seamless transmission, instant status updates, and 24/7 operational reliability.

What is an eManifest?

An eManifest (Electronic Manifest) is a digital submission required by CBSA (for ACI) and CBP (for ACE) containing shipment, carrier, and driver details before arrival at the border.
With AVAAL eManifest Portal, carriers can create, transmit, and manage manifests accurately from anywhere — via desktop or mobile.

Why AVAAL eManifest is the #1 Choice for Carriers

1. Full ACE & ACI Integration

Submit ACE eManifests for U.S. entries and ACI eManifests for Canadian entries from one cloud-based system. Avoid duplication and save time with built-in automation.

2. Direct Connectivity with CBP & CBSA

One of the best eManifest software for trucking companies, our system connects directly to both border agencies for real-time manifest transmission and instant acknowledgment. Receive live status updates on acceptance, arrival, and release — no manual tracking required.

3. Fully Integrated with AVAAL TMS – AFM & AED

The AVAAL eManifest Portal (AEM) integrates seamlessly with AVAAL Freight Management (AFM) and AVAAL Express Dispatch (AED) TMS systems.

This automation allows your dispatches, trips, and drivers to sync automatically — ensuring a fully unified border crossing workflow without re-entry or upload errors.

4. Hassle-Free Outsourcing Service

AVAAL In-Bond Monitor – Stay Compliant, Avoid Penalties

The AVAAL In-Bond Monitor is a powerful feature built directly into the AEM Portal, giving carriers full control over their in-bond shipments.

• Electronically check in-bond numbers and shipment statuses

This feature is directly linked to U.S. Customs (CBP) systems, enabling carriers to manage in-bonds digitally — without manual forms or calls.
