The most commonly used form is the Inward Cargo Manifest, which is prepared by the carrier.The carrier provides the importer's customs broker with a manifest that includes an identifier number and the customs invoice. The broker then submits the proper documentation to ensure proper clearance and accounting for the shipment.
