The United Stated Customs and Border Patrol have tightened their scrutiny of the Advanced Passenger Information System. Members should be aware of potential fines emanating for inaccurate or untimely submissions.
In October 2007 the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced the Advanced Passenger Information System (APIS) was created to provide Customs officials with pre-arrival and departure manifest data on all passengers and crew members. APIS requires transmitting passenger and crew manifests accurately and timely. Fines for transmitting inaccurate information are US 5,000 for the first offense and 10,000 thereafter. Although these fines were in effect since 2007, Customs has not been enforcing the fines until recently.

加强对APIS报告的审查-美国
美国国土安全局(CBP)已加紧了预报旅客信息系统的审查。各成员应知悉，提交不及时或提交信息不准确可能会产生罚款。
2007年10月，美国国土安全局(CBP)推出预报旅客信息系统(APIS)，此举旨在为海关提供所有有关乘客和船员到港前和离港的名单。APIS要求及时和准确地提交乘客和船员名单。倘若提交信息不准确，第一次罚款5,000美元，之后每次罚款10,000美元。此类罚款规定于2007年生效，但直至近期海关才开始执行。
