With a history of providing customs and security filing solutions, Descartes has created a cloud-based solution to answer the requirements of ACAS, offering air forwarders and carriers an innovative way to comply while keeping operating costs in line. With the regulation now mandatory, compliance is more importance than ever.
The Descartes ACAS™ solution uses the Descartes Global Logistics Network™ (Descartes GLN™) to collect house bill information directly from forwarders enterprise systems to file directly to CBP without manual intervention thereby increasing data quality. Air forwarders also have the option to utilize web-based tools to create and update additional required data. Embedded master reference data is used to perform data validation and value added compliance services such as denied party screening are available to identify potential risk issues with trading partners.
