Solution: After an exhaustive vendor search, the firm selected QuestaWeb's Importer (QW) module due to its functionality and configurability. The solution allows the company to receive electronic documents from Japan, manage tariffs and HTS classifications, validate compliance, build customs brokerage entries, electronically transmit them to the customs broker for electronic upload to CBP and verify broker-submitted data post-transmission. Results: The move to automated import processes assures global trade compliance and saves this firm time and money. It now operates on a management-by-exception basis, freeing personnel to perform higher value tasks. Post-entry auditing is no longer necessary, as the system assures data correctness and consistency.
