We offer complete solutions for all of your cargo-security filing requirements, consistent with the filing requirements pertaining to the country into which your shipments are moving.
Cargo-security filing requirements, whether you are an air carrier, ocean carrier, freight forwarder or NVOCC, are similar among countries requiring such filing. Our cargo-security filing applications allow you to integrate your operating systems with each country's Customs to file cargo manifests, including the port of arrival/departure, numbers from the bill of lading, description and weight of cargo and names of shippers/consignees prior to loading (on ocean shipments) or landing (on air shipments).
For ocean shipments, our cargo-security applications add information not usually visible to freight forwarders and NVOCCs such as the last foreign port of call and vessel IMO number, thus simplifying the filing process for our customers.
We supply a direct link to each country's electronic cargo-security system and once the information is in a country's cargo-security system, we post Customs' responses in our customers' secure database on our server, notifying them of the disposition of each cargo-security filing.
What makes Trade Tech's cargo-security filing solutions better than our competitors? We have several different applications that allow you to: 1) file automatically from our operating system, if you are using our operations platform 2) file via a Trade Tech web form or 3) you can have our Trade Tech Services' data entry staff key and file the shipment data for you.

At the core of our cargo-security filing solution is our robust operations platform. We have connected that platform to Customs to provide a cargo-security filing solution that can be expanded to integrate your regular operating system with Customs, thereby, eliminating the need to key data into two separate systems. |

Screen control. TTI has created its own HTML interface application known as TTWeb. We realized early on that controls such as field validations, process calls, and mandatory fields needed to be incorporated into the user interface. This high level of functionality is not normally present in standard HTML formats. |

Integration of our AMS functionality with our Sailing Schedule application quickly provides required vessel specific data. |

Currently Advance Manifests (AMS) are required for Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), through its Advance Cargo Information (ACI) system, the United States Customs and Border Protection (USCBP) through its Automated Manifest System (AMS) and Mexico Customs (SAM and AMANAC) require cargo-security filing. The Mexico 24 Hour Rule went into effect on September 1 2007.
Other countries have implied that they will require cargo-security filing in the near future, including Australia, India and the countries of the European Community. TTI will be prepared to file into these countries' electronic databases as they announce their cargo-security filing requirements. We are also actively involved in US Customs changes such as 10+2.
