Customs Connect 

Customs Connect is a pilot project we are actively developing, with the cooperation of several Customs authorities and trade organizations. This service will provide a way to link the enhanced risk assessments generated by our Risk Assessment Sandbox and Customs Authorities worldwide via established customs filing systems: ACI, advanced security filings, or customs entry data. 

Key Features

One of the added advantages of using Customs Connect for your global filing needs is the ability to run your shipment and filing data through our exclusive Risk Assessment Sandbox. This process will match your shipment data with our member data and generate a Risk Assessment that is scored and provides a supplemental index and a unique Sandbox code for your local customs authorities to use in their own risk assessment.

Through our parent company World BASC Organization, we enjoy the support of 17 customs administrations globally. We have signed MOU with multiple Customs authorities globally and provide these customs offices with a Customs Direct Connect user account to enable local targeting centers to access risk assessments and security profiles of our members. This allows Customs to supplement their own risk assessment of a supply chain with additional information available only through Global BASC. Supplemental information available to Customs  includes:

 

  • BASC Index of each link in the supply chain
  • Supply Chain Security Index
  • Security profiles of participating companies (members only)
  • Participation in the Global BASC community (screening and training)

How It Works

  1. Member files ACI data to Customs.
  2. ACI data is sent through the Sandbox.
  3. Sandbox generates a Risk Assessment with scoring and reference information.
  4. Risk Assessment information is sent to Customs as Supplemental filing.
  5. Customs can log in to view Risk Assessment details, scores, BASC Index of partners in the supply chain.

NOTE: Revise text and image – include adding to entry data / not just through e-clear
