Yes, Ace e-manifest is mandatory to cross US border. The driver should have an Entry number before he/she crosses the US border, otherwise customs can fine the driver for not submitting an electronic manifest.

Yes, PARS sticker is mandatory on the papers.

No, PAPS sticker is not mandatory on the papers but there must be a SCAC code and number under which a customs broker can clear your shipment.

You need to use as many PAPS stickers as there are shippers or consignees or invoices. For example, if you have 2 shippers and one consignee then you need to put 2 PAPS stickers on invoices. If there is 1 shipper and 2 consignees even then you need to put 2 PAPS sticker on invoices.

There can be various reasons for a rejected manifest. The most common reason is reusing a previous used PAPS number. You need to put a new PAPS number to resolve this.

Other main reasons can be driver, truck, trailer, port code or time of arrival information entered incorrectly.

If a truck plate number is changed, then you need to change it into Avaal e-manifest system and the customs system as well.

You can call Avaal and let our representative change the truck plate numbers on the customs system.
