SEKO Logistics Streamlines International Cross-Border Ecommerce Using Descartes Solutions
February 15 2022 - 5:45AM
Descartes Systems Group (Nasdaq: DSGX) (TSX:DSG), the global leader
in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced
that SEKO Logistics is using Descartes’ solutions for air cargo
security filings and ecommerce customs clearance to speed
processing time for more than 10 million parcels worldwide each
month.
“Cross-border ecommerce is growing significantly and more
customers are looking to us to simplify the complexity of filing
security and customs entries as goods travel by air between
countries,” said David Emerson, Global VP, Ecommerce Solutions at
SEKO Logistics. “Descartes’ high-level filing automation enabled
SEKO to further manage the extraordinary volumes we’re shipping. As
SEKO expands internationally and regulations change, such as
Brexit, Descartes has the solutions we need to grow.”
Descartes is a market leader in providing connectivity and air
messaging services to customs authorities around the world.
Descartes’ solutions help shippers and freight forwarders, like
SEKO Logistics, comply with security and customs requirements to
electronically file air waybill information for shipment clearance,
which accelerates the flow of air cargo, improves security,
enhances interagency communication and decreases costs. For
ecommerce shipments coming into the U.S., where the total value
does not exceed US$800, companies use Descartes’ Section 321 Type
86 customs entry to automatically file basic shipment details at
the air manifest level with U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP), which allows for the expedited import of goods without the
payment of duties and taxes.
“We’re pleased to help SEKO move a high volume of international
ecommerce shipments more securely, compliantly and efficiently,”
said Scott Sangster, Vice President, Global Logistics Service
Providers at Descartes. “With cross-border trade regulations
constantly evolving, ecommerce can pose compliance and customer
service challenges when transporting goods by air. Descartes has a
long-standing track record of working proactively with customers
and customs authorities to keep pace with change, so companies can
electronically transmit security and fiscal declaration filings to
government agencies more easily and reliably.”
