Customs Training Seminars

We can provide you with the information and training resources you and your staff need to stay current with today’s rapidly changing customs environment. Topics covered include NAFTA, Rules of Origin Determination, HS Classification Basics, Customs Documentation 101, Administrative Monetary Penalty System, ACI/eManifest, C-TPAT, Customs Self-Assessment, and Preparing for the New Border.

Technology

 

Information Technology 
Our commitment to customer service has led us to implement new technologies that provide our customers with more secure, efficient and transparent access to their information than ever before. This reduces costs and increases productivity for everyone.

Our advanced IT infrastructure allows us to develop the most efficient working relationships possible, minimizing expenses and creating a highly effective workflow.

We can exchange data with our clients in a variety of advanced formats including ANSI X12 and EDIFACT, and also by utilizing structured flat files (an easier option for clients without a complicated IT Infrastructure). EDI data can be exchanged via TCP/IP, AT&T, GEIS, or other VANs. Flat files can be transferred securely over the internet using SFTP protocols (active or passive, push or pull). Data exchange options range from completely automated to scheduled to manually initiated.
