to Improve Reliability of Customs Brokerage Services
WESTFIELD, NJ -September 24, 2002 - QuestaWeb, Inc. (www.questaweb.com), the provider of web-based multi-national cross-border solutions, today announced that ICS Customs Service Inc., one of the leading Chicago-based customhouse brokers, has selected QuestaWeb's QW HTS Classifier to improve reliability of US import services for its customers. The QW HTS Classifier is a component of the QuestaWeb solution that classifies products according to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) of several countries including the USA. The ability to support the rapid classification of products in multiple languages around the world is a key factor in streamlining the process of importing and exporting those products for global manufacturers and importers.
In anticipation of stricter compliance verification processes, ICS selected QuestaWeb as the provider of the comprehensive regulatory and import compliance system as the company finalizes its preparations for the interface and processing changes. ICS recognizes QuestaWeb as a reliable global technology company that provides an integrated suite of cross-border solutions. The company will use QuestaWeb's Parts Classifier and Internet Tracking modules to ensure US Customs compliance and to manage its shipment status notifications.
William Sharpe, President of ICS said, "Our larger customers, such as Generac Power Systems Inc., are working with us on a parts number basis. QuestaWeb's QW HTS Classifier will facilitate pre-classification of our comprehensive parts database in a fast and reliable manner prior to the actual shipments. Such automation will considerably speed up the clearance and ensure adherence of our clients to complex customs regulations. QuestaWeb's software will streamline our operations, virtually eliminate operators' errors, and improve our compliance verification process."
