Customs House Broker Challenges
Increasing security and compliance requirements challenge customs house brokers
already under pressure from importers. Most brokers have programs underway to achieve
cost reductions within their own operations while they struggle to profitably meet
customer demands in an increasingly competitive environment. Leading brokers are
implementing technology to better manage cargo, documentation, landed costs, and
compliance analysis on behalf of importers.
Integrated Solution for Customs House Brokers
Developed to meet the specific needs of U.S. Customs House Brokers, CHB QW
simplifies and automates import customhouse brokerage functions such as
classifications, valuations, compliance, and clearance. CHB QW easily
accepts information from Exporter QW, Forwarder QW, Importer QW,
or legacy systems, and naturally supports unattended "wheels-up"
clearance, when necessary.
