Logistics : CBP approves MSR eCustoms ACE e-Manifest solution
|
|
|
Buffalo, New York The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has accredited MSR eCustoms to provide Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) e-Manifest services for carriers shipping goods to the United States by highway.
MSR is a leading provider of automated trade management and compliance solutions in North America for almost 25 years, and the accreditation comes as CBP begins implementing a mandatory advance electronic cargo and conveyance notification system to account for shipments entering the U.S. by highway.
The accreditation also comes just months after CBP approved MSR?s QP/WP service for in-bond shipments via the U.S.
MSR?s ACE e-Manifest solution is a web-based service that enables businesses to fully comply with mandatory advance electronic notification regulations. It meets strict CBP requirements for all electronic message types and submission times: 30 minutes before the truck reaches a U.S. Customs border checkpoint for FAST carriers and one hour for all others.
CBP is expected to fully implement ACE e-Manifest by next year. Non-compliance will result in fines of between US$5,000 and $10,000 as well as trucks being turned back at the border.
?We are right at the cutting edge of CBP?s highway plans. Our aim is to help highway carriers of all sizes to be able to comply with these mandatory regulations quickly and effectively,? said Jackson Wood, Corporate Business Manager at MSR eCustoms. ?More importantly, it means that carriers can submit all the relevant information to Customs within the required time period to ensure their trucks cross the border as smoothly as possible.?
MSR?s ACE e-Manifest solution is part of the Visual Gateway? Suite, a collection of powerful web-based solutions that enables businesses to comply with advance electronic notifications regulations. Visual Gateway? also covers electronic notifications for air, marine and rail carriers.

Energy : US Dept of Energy Lab, Argonne, strengthens Export Compliance with eCustoms
|
|
|
ARGONNE SELECTS ECUSTOMS TO SPEED UP RESTRICTED PARTY SCREENING PROCESSING TIMES
Buffalo, N.Y. The U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory has selected eCustoms’ export compliance solution to strengthen its Restricted Party Screening process.
One of the world’s leading research facilities, Argonne supports more than 200 projects, from studies of the atomic nucleus to tracking global climate change.
Because the lab receives thousands of foreign visitors annually, one of its main priorities is to adequately meet regulations covering the transfer of export-controlled technology and knowledge to foreign nationals.
Argonne previously screened names manually against Restricted Party lists available on several different websites. In choosing eCustoms export compliance solution, screening against all relevant lists can be undertaken from a centralized point, significantly decreasing the processing time.
“What used to take about half-an-hour per request now takes just minutes,” said Elliot Kolsto, Argonne’s Senior Program Coordinator/Adviser (Export Control, Foreign Visits and Assignments, and Foreign Travel). “Having a resource that saves so much time is important when you have limited resources and tight deadlines.”
Argonne also utilizes the eCustoms solution to help ensure that its employees do not breach transfer-of-technology laws during trips outside the U.S., as well as for export license determination covering shipments to destinations overseas.
“eCustoms counts many research labs like Argonne among our clients, and we understand the specific challenges they are facing,” said Jackson Wood, eCustoms Corporate Business Manager. “These challenges include meeting disparate global compliance regulations that strictly control how sensitive information and materials must be managed.”
eCustoms provides automated solutions that help companies involved in global trade achieve compliance rapidly in the short term and continuously over the long term. These solutions include export and import documentation, electronic submissions to Customs, NAFTA management, tariff classification, Restricted Party screening, ECCN analysis, export license determination, usage audit reporting, and export license application, submission and post approval management.
###
About Argonne National Laboratory
The nation’s first national laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory conducts basic and applied scientific research across a wide spectrum of disciplines, ranging from high-energy physics to climatology and biotechnology. Since 1990, Argonne has worked with more than 600 companies and numerous federal agencies and other organizations to help advance America’s scientific leadership and prepare the nation for the future. Argonne is managed by the University of Chicago for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science. For more information about Argonne, please visit: www.anl.gov.
