Take Your Compliance Operations to the Cloud
With ABI Software from Magaya
Hosted on the Microsoft Azure Cloud, Magaya Customs Compliance gets you up and running quickly with no additional hardware or software needed. Redundant data centers meet all ISO and security standards and ensure reliable uptime and a smooth, uninterrupted, connection to ACE.
Stay Compliant With Proactive Regulatory Updates
With tariff and regulatory changes happening all the time, it’s critically important to stay on top of changes to avoid potential delays or costly fines. That’s why our compliance team keeps the software regularly and proactively updated – at no additional cost to you. Plus, Magaya Customs Compliance includes the complete PGA record set for submitting FDA, NHTSA, EPA, APHIS Core, FWS, DEA, FSIS, NMFS, ATF, DTC, TTB, and AMS data to and from each agency as they become available in ACE.
Save Time and Boost Productivity With Automation
Parts automation saves time when completing FDA, EPA, and/or other forms within an Entry. Form automation uses data from one customs form to auto-fill another (e.g. auto-create an Entry straight from the ISF). Automated validation warns users when a tariff number subject to specific duties (such as Section 301) is used. Expedite the creation and submission of your Air AMS, ACAS, and Type 86 entries by uploading one Excel document for all three fillings and submitting them once the forms are completed. Plus, the creation of a Type 86 Entry is automated for Section 321 shipments, transforming a cumbersome, lengthy process into just two simple steps.
Seize Operational Control With Centralized Visibility
Enjoy complete visibility at a glance of all transaction types and their current status with U.S. Customs, all from a single dashboard. Plus, real-time updates and alerts keep you and your customers continuously updated on shipment statuses.
Accelerate Filings With Real-Time CBP Connectivity
The real-time data exchange with U.S. Customs eliminates delayed responses on submissions statuses. Responses on shipment status are received immediately, including “May Proceed” from FDA, “Release” from Customs, and more. Real-time API and EDI even enable you to connect your in-house applications with USCBP and PGA.
