The automatic broker interface (ABI) module is designed to provide you with comprehensive, two-way communication capabilities with the U.S. Customs ABI system. It gives you a maximum of control and flexibility, yet it is simple to learn and operate. | ||
(To Summary) | ||
Eliminate mistakes and delays | When you have up-to-date information from U.S. Customs, your work will be accurate and
transactions can be completed without hassles. With a Lighthouse ABI module, you can receive the latest information
from the ABI system about such things as currency exchange rates; tariff rates; bond status; quotas and anti-dumping;
VISA requirements; port, country, ISO, and Schedule K codes; and so much more. | |
Improve productivity | Electronic transactions allow instantaneous transmission of information from your brokerage to Customs. The Lighthouse ABI module allows you to file entry summaries, submit OGA data, cargo release data, and CF-5106 forms electronically. You can also submit changes at any time to documents or information already on file at Customs, for example: changes to entry dates, OGA dates, cargo release data, and Bills of Lading after certification of cargo release. And you can add information to the ACS database such as manufacturer names and addresses, and receive IDs immediately. | |
Save time |
With the Lighthouse ABI module you can calculate payments the quickest way-automatically. And you can deliver them to Customs the fastest way-electronically. You can obtain daily broker statements and decide to pay entry summaries with individual checks, or you can pay many entries each day with one check to Customs. You can also pay duties by electronic funds transfer between your bank (or your client's bank) and Customs via your access to the ABI system's Automated Clearing House (ACH), allowing quota entries ten working days for payment. | |
Stay on top of liquidations |
The Lighthouse system ABI module provides you with the capability to receive a variety of liquidation, suspension and extension notices. You'll also benefit from access to the National Importer Liquidation System (NILS), which allows you to obtain liquidation information for an importer for ports throughout the United States. | |
