shipping manifests
Freight inventory documents
Shipping manifests are documents listing the cargo, passengers, or contents of a vessel, aircraft, or vehicle.
They serve as official records for customs, logistics, and regulatory compliance, detailing what's being transported, quantities, origins, and destinations.
The customs officer reviewed the shipping manifest before clearing the container.
In historical contexts, ship manifests are valuable genealogical records showing immigrant arrivals.
