The term "ship" in this article is intended to cover any type or size of sea-worthy vessel. A designated person on each transportation craft must maintain lists with information on each passenger, crew member, or other category of occupant who is transported on a ship or aircraft. The designated list-keeper may be the craft's master or commanding officer, authorized agent, or owner, for example. The information must be given to a United States border official both when the ship or aircraft is arriving at a U.S. port of entry and when it is departing from a U.S. port. As of January 1, 2003, the provision of such information must be transmitted electronically from the designated list-keeper to the U.S. border official. More... |
