Importer/Exporter Trade Compliance

The role of the importer has, in the last decade, been enhanced and enforced with respect to cargo security and duty declarations respectively. The importance has also been raised on the nature and quality of the information passed either directly or indirectly to government authorities. As a result, it has never been more important to maintain a clear oversight over all cargo security and declarations made on behalf of the importer.

Descartes' compliance toolset enables brokers and importers to integrate and automate the validation processes across all vital data that has a role in the import process:

• Six point matching of Purchase Orders, Commercial Invoices, Entries, Received Quantities, Payables and their correlation with the ISF filing. These separate data sets are also validated against the product and party databases held centrally for control.
• Reporting and screening tool audit that allow for drill down examination of problems before they happen so that they can be prevented. As well as post-hoc reporting to screen for procedural problems that might expose the company to risk.
