Join Descartes’ Global Customs Filing Working Group

Descartes’ Global Customs Filing Working Group brings together members of the Descartes European- and American-based Customs Advisory Councils. The aim of the group is to expand the discussion on optimal approaches to security adherence, enrich solution design, testing offering, develop industry insight into adoption and rollout, and work together with government representatives to better understand and normalize compliance requirements for smoother adoption. This group will be comprised of key forwarder, carrier and trader customers. This group, along with the customs brokerage community, is legally responsible and relied upon by their customers to transmit filings to ensure supply chain integrity.

Descartes’ Global Customs Filing working group’s objectives include but are not limited to:

• Provide input on the interpretation and understanding of the filing mandates ruling and its impact on industry;
• Provide insight on optimal data and multi-party workflow options between the importer/exporter, forwarder, broker, carrier, other agents and governments around the world;
• Participate in the testing of new Descartes offerings;
• Review and guide our near/mid/long term product development priorities; and
• Provide guidance on future complementary solutions or services to assist in further streamlining international trade
