This platform will unite all cargo stakeholders, including customs, customs brokers, shippers, airlines, trucking companies, ground and cargo handlers, and freight forwarders under one roof.
At present, each shipment needs over 30 types of documents in multiple copies, causing significant duplication of documentation and increased dwell time and supply chain disruption, the airport noted.
The implementation of ACS will eliminate paperwork at the airport. It is expected to enable faster processing of transactions and reduce duplication of information.
Furthermore, the platform will streamline processes and offer information prior to cargo reaching the airport.
