Customs software for forwarders

Customs software that shows what's ready and what's missing.

Most of the facts an entry needs already live in the shipment, the documents and your importer records. DESTIN pulls them together, checks readiness, and asks your team only about what's missing or conflicting.

Workflow

From documents to a reviewed entry.

  1. 01

    Importer data

    Importer of record details are kept in a party master and reused, with the number type stored explicitly.

  2. 02

    Documents

    Invoice and packing list facts are extracted and matched to the shipment for review.

  3. 03

    Readiness check

    The draft shows 'ready' or the specific items that need attention.

  4. 04

    Broker review

    A licensed broker or filer reviews and approves before anything is transmitted.

  5. 05

    Transmission

    ACE/ABI transmission happens only through configured, approved customs connectivity.

  6. 06

    Responses

    Acceptances, rejections and messages come back to the entry as exceptions to resolve.

Principles

Built for control, not shortcuts.

Confirmed facts stay confirmed

Extracted values never silently overwrite reviewed data.

Test vs production separate

Test and certification drafts are clearly labeled and kept apart from production.

Diagnostics stay out of the way

Raw technical detail is available to administrators, not in the operator's path.

DESTIN is software; it is not a licensed customs broker and does not claim CBP certification. Electronic filing is available only where your workspace has configured and approved customs connectivity.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can DESTIN file entries with CBP?

Only through customs connectivity that your workspace has configured and that is approved for use. Without it, DESTIN prepares and checks drafts for your broker.

Do we still need a licensed customs broker?

Yes, where the law requires one. DESTIN supports the broker's review; it does not replace licensed judgment.

What does 'filing readiness' mean?

DESTIN compares the entry's required facts against your shipment, documents and importer records and lists only what is missing, invalid or conflicting.

Does DESTIN support ISF?

ISF and security filing data can be prepared in the customs workspace, subject to the same review and connectivity rules.

Are customs transmissions included in the plan?

Transmission fees charged by customs connectivity providers may be passed through separately.
