Indonesia has become the latest country to implement mandatory electronic manifest, since the US Customs launched the advance manifest system (AMS) in 2004. Similarly, Indian and Canadian Customs implemented advanced Manifest in 2006.
There is a growing trend for Customs worldwide to require manifest information prior to flight arrival and departure.
CCN’s Customs connectivity enables airlines to comply with local mandatory requirements (which differ from country to country) with minimal change to operation procedures and data entry, whilst achieving a high level of data accuracy and compliance.
CCNhub, the secure, one-stop, carrier-neutral airfreight portal, provides an efficient platform for air cargo agents to provide master air waybill and consol manifest data, which are crucial information in the manifest message to Customs. It ensures high standards of security control and is a major improvement in the efficiency in handling both imports and exports.
“CCN can now provide Customs Gateway solutions for airlines flying to Indonesia, India and Canada, with an integrated solution that allows carriers to monitor submissions to Customs online globally,” said Teow Boon Ling, general manager, CCN. He added that CCN intends to substantially boost its services for Customs across the region in the next few years.
CCN is a Cargo 2000-accredited vendor for Common Data Management Platform requirements. CCN is currently connected to 27 major international and regional airlines, and already has one of the largest airline customer bases subscribing to its existing services.
Headquartered in Singapore, CNN also has operations in Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.
