You stumbled on a agent who didn't know the APIS final rules. You could have just mentioned: in transit on YYZ via flight xxx. City: Washington, State: DC, Zip:99999

Below is clarification on what information should be included on the manifest for those passengers who are: (1) visiting the US; (2) joining a cruise ship; (3) picking up a rental car or; (4) those not knowing their address while in the United States:

* Visiting the U.S., and the passenger has a known address.
Example:

Street Address: 1300 Pennsylvania Ave
City: Washington
State: D.C.
ZIP Code: 20229

* Transit to a cruise ship: CBP will accept, “transit to Cruise Line and Vessel/Cruise Name” in the address field. The city of cruise embarkation should be included.
Example:

Street Address: Transit to MV Princess of the Seas
City: Miami
State: FL
ZIP Code: 99999

# Rental car pickup: CBP will accept if the first night stay is NOT known, the general itinerary of the traveler. If for example the traveler will be touring, the general itinerary city, state and zip code (if known).
Example:

Street address: Touring the Grand Canyon
City: Grand Canyon
State: AZ
ZIP Code: 99999

# Hotel: For those passengers who are destined to a hotel and do not know the street address for the hotel, CBP will accept, Hotel name (if known), City (of first night stay), State. ZIP Code should be provided if known.
Example:

Street Address: Downtown Hotel Hilton – (be as specific as possible)
City: Houston
State: Texas
ZIP Code: 99999

# CBP will continue to conduct outreach with the carrier organizations and post information to www.cbp.gov regarding the phased implementation schedule and the requirements for the address field.
