Challenge: Selecting a Self-Filer ISF Solution
Tronex International (www.tronexcompany.com) is a leading provider of health and safety solutions that help prevent cross-contamination and infection. Tronex specializes in the manufacturing and marketing of a wide range of high quality hand and body protection products that service the healthcare, food service, and other diverse industries around the globe.
In January 2010, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) began requiring all importers to submit Importer Security Filings (ISFs) at least 24-hours before vessel loading at the foreign port. Importers are responsible for filing multiple data elements related to their cargo. CBP may charge penalties or hold cargo if filings are not submitted accurately and on time. To comply with the regulation, Tronex sought a solution that gives them in-house control over their filing process and is easy to use.
Solution: An ISF Solution That Provides Filing Control
Tronex’s import team selected CargoSmart’s ISF application as its self-filing solution. The team uses CargoSmart’s service to compile the required data elements, submit ISFs to CBP securely, receive filing status confirmation, and look up the filing history for audit tracing. The solution allows Tronex’s import team to submit filings as needed instead of waiting for a third-party to file on its behalf. CargoSmart also provides Tronex with a dashboard for on-demand visibility to when filings are due and filing status to manage its compliance.
Results: Saves Time and Costs Filing ISFs
Tronex has found that CargoSmart’s solution helps its business operations by providing a low cost, secure system to process and file ISFs. The company’s import team also finds the well-structured application design to be very easy to use. Tronex enjoys the following benefits of CargoSmart’s ISF solution:
- Greater operations control with flexibility of filing timing and visibility to filing status
- Cost savings on filing fees with a low-cost, self-filing solution
- Excellent customer support to ensure a smooth filing process
