Global Trade Platform Streamlines Government
Agency Requirements for Importers
Amber Road (NYSE: AMBR), a leading provider of cloud-based
global trade management (GTM) solutions, announced today that its
software platform has expanded support for the new import filing
requirements under the United States Automated Commercial
Environment (ACE) Single Window for Partner Government Agencies
(PGAs).
US Customs and Border Protection is leveraging the ACE system to
implement the concept of the Single Window with all PGAs. Integral
to this multi-phase modernization effort, importers are now
required on behalf of these PGAs to declare, and file, potentially
hundreds of new data elements with Customs at the time of admission
into the US.
“Many countries are moving to the Single Window concept, which
will require both accurate and real-time information to be
presented to Customs at time of entry,” said Nathan Pieri, Chief
Product Officer for Amber Road. “This places an incredible burden
on the importer related to the collection and maintenance of these
compliance-related data elements; in fact, one of the PGAs requires
over 450 validations. The Amber Road Import solution offers
comprehensive master data management support for PGAs and can be
implemented with any existing ERP solution to help a supply chain
team deal with the challenges of complying with the ever-changing
ACE PGA initiative.”
Global multinational corporations use Amber Road's GTM platform
to manage all the information required by Customs for a given
country, both the supply chain information and the country and
commodity-specific import information. Import admissibility
routines then examine the import transaction with Amber Road's
Global Knowledge® trade content database to determine whether a
government agency has reporting requirements for Customs purposes,
and decides which data elements are required. The Amber Road Import
solution then automatically combines master data with the supply
chain transaction to create an electronic version of the Customs
transaction ready to be filed with Customs.
Recent enhancements to the Amber Road Import solution go beyond
support for the 13 agencies and 19 specific programs, and focus on
more efficiently managing the rapid changes in PGA specific
reporting requirements. Without the need to utilize technical
resources for assistance, new data management tools allow
compliance managers to quickly identify changes and apply
mass-updates to their products and transactions accordingly.
Customs’ Single Window initiatives lower the cost of PGAs to
expand on the information needed from importers to confirm
admissibility of their goods and streamline compliance processes.
The burden of collecting and managing these new information
requirements is not well supported today without automation. Chief
Supply Chain Officers are increasingly relying on GTM platforms to
manage agency requirements. By staying current with PGA standards,
companies can quickly and efficiently confirm admissibility and
prevent delays at the border.
