ICS (Integrated Cargo System)

An integrated IT system to replace the current separate systems between November 2003 and April 2004. It offers more sophisticated tools to facilitate the timely identification of high risk goods and provides industry with greater flexibility in doing business with Customs through options for communication together with flexible processes to benefitlow-risk clients.

Our implementation of ICS combines functionality of the existing Exit I & II, Air & Sea Cargo Automation and Edifice into a single customs package.

It offers freight forwarders full coverage of the cargo management by providing an EDI equivalent for every business transaction.

It includes our own PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) Toolkit used to encrypt and authenticate EDI messages and exchange them with the Customs via standard SMTP.
