DHL Global Forwarding launches ACE-compliant system

DHL Global Forwarding has launched a new Customs brokerage system which is compliant with US Customs’ Automated Commercial Environment (ACE). The ACE-certified system is fully integrated with the company’s current Document Management System and Inland Transportation Management System, and it will also feed information to DHL’s future Unified Reporting System, as well as its new Client Portal, which is set to be launched in the fourth quarter of 2016.

DHL has created the system with software provider Kewill.

“With all the Customs changes taking place in the U.S., we think this new system will be a big benefit to our customers, working flawlessly with ACE to provide them a more expedited service for all their Customs filings,” said Jim Miller, senior director for Customs Brokerage at DHL Global Forwarding, U.S.

“The Kewill developed system has a graphical user interface, enhanced electronic data interchange loading capability and an integrated work management feature to help increase productivity and ultimately allow DHL to better serve our customers.”

The Customs system is available at all DHL U.S. Customs processing facilities.
