Descartes OneView Customs House Broker (CHB) Solution

Go beyond US Customs entry filing with the Descartes OneView™ Customs House Broker (CHB) solution. This enterprise-level application improves the speed and accuracy of submitting entry data to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and features a dashboard-driven interface specifically designed for the customs broker.

Engineered with advanced Message Queue (MQ) capabilities and a direct link to CBP, Descartes OneView CHB users can receive and react to responses and customs status messages by exception. A proactive alert functionality notifies users of actionable items including rejections, intensive exams, requests for electronic invoices, Temporary Importation Bonds (TIBs) expiration notices and more.

Descartes OneView CHB solution can help you manage and keep track of your clients’ Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) as well as periodic daily and monthly statements. Users will also smoothly rollover into ACE functionality in parallel to CBP advancements.

With the ability to populate Bills of Lading (BOLs), create delivery orders and generate invoices, the Descartes CHB solution helps to jumpstart data entry and seamlessly bill for services rendered. Built-in reports provide details on cargo released, forecasted duty payments, liquidation, error statistics, shipments on-hold and clearance timeframes. Descartes OneView CHB solution also includes full-support of charge-tables for additional invoices, invoice line-items and classifications as well as standard charges for single-transaction bonds.
