What is a manifest?

A manifest is a document that contains a detailed list of items, goods or cargo that are being transported from one place to another. It is used in logistics and transportation industries to ensure that all items are accurately accounted for and shipped to the correct destination.

A manifest typically includes information about the items being shipped, such as their description, quantity, weight, and destination. It may also include information about the person or company sending the shipment, as well as the recipient.

Manifests are used to ensure that all items are properly tracked, and that nothing is lost or damaged during transit. They are required for international shipments, and may also be used for domestic shipments in some industries.

Electronic manifests, or e-manifests, are becoming more common in many industries. These digital manifests provide a more efficient and environmentally-friendly way to track shipments, and are often required by regulatory agencies.
