Abstract: A system and a process for tracking cargo through customs. The system includes a computerized network which includes one or more servers which contain and process information for tracking items through customs. The system includes a database server, a remote relay computer, and a remote scanner for which is in communication with the remote relay computer. The scanner is used to communicate with both bar code labels and Radio Frequency Identification or RFID labels which then sends the information back to the remote relay computer and on to the server. In a preferred embodiment, the RFID labels are used instead of the bar code labels. The process is designed to take information from a shipper, store this information in a database and tag this information to a RFID label. This RFID label is then attached go goods that are shipped so that the goods can be tracked as they pass through customs.
