  • System for U.S. customs compliance for overseas importers
    Patent number: 11830012
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for complying with customs regulations for overseas shipments. The customs compliance systems and methods rely on current data to timely and accurately submit (or correct and resubmit) an “Importer Security Filing” or “ISF” to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“U.S. CBP”) authority. In particular, the present systems retrieve (e.g., using various APIs) and rely on current data from the most accurate or up-to-date sources of such data. Moreover, each ISF record is handled independently, retrieving the current data as needed rather than in sequential, batched requests. As a result, errors and time for processing ISF submissions are reduced because accurate data is more readily and promptly available.
