Documents that currently support the manifest at arrival or departure, such as Forms I-95, I-94, I-408s, etc., are still required. Departure documents should be submitted to CBP no later than 30 days after the vessel’s departure. As required by 8 CFR 251.5, vessel operators and or agents are required to transmit the crew information and subsequent crew changes via the established Electronic Notice of Arrival/Departure (eNOA/eNOD) process, which CBP will utilize in place of the hard copy CBP Form I-418. Ports participating in the program within the Houston Field Office (HFO): Houston, Freeport, Galveston, and Corpus Christi.
