Descartes Electronic In-Bond™

Descartes helps carriers quickly and easily complete the requirements for Customs filing

Before cargo enters or leaves the country, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) requires advance transmission of electronic cargo information to CBP for both arriving and departing cargo.

Specifically for carriers, Descartes Electronic In-Bond™ helps transmit the necessary advance electronic cargo information to the U.S. CBP regarding inbound shipments prior to their arrival in the United States. Using CBP-approved electronic data interchange protocols for the transmission of advance cargo information (QP/WP), Descartes helps carriers quickly and easily complete the requirements for filing Customs Form 7512—Transportation Entry and Manifest of Goods Subject to Customs Inspection and Permit, and receive in-bond movement authorization within minutes instead of hours or even days.

Benefits

Descartes Electronic In-Bond helps:

• Enable truck carriers to approach the U.S. border with pre-approval for each cargo movement and avoid penalties from U.S. CBP
• Effectively manage U.S. border-crossing time and reduce the number of rejected inbound shipments
• Reduce data entry time and errors
• Reduce messenger costs
• Minimize risk by decreasing the need to grant power of attorney to third parties to validate Custom Form 7512
