GLSHK, JAL and CX are planning to extend EzyCustoms™ capabilities – as a single Internet platform to support and comply with all major customs authorities including Automated Manifest Services (AMS) of Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S., European Union Customs and Australia Customs.

EzyCustoms™ - a multiple Customs compliance Internet portal, is part of the product suite of GLSHK’s Ezyfreight solution. Other products include

·          EzyCargo™, a multi-carrier air cargo electronic booking portal,

·          EzyPost™, a multi-postal air mail consignment portal, and

·          EDMP™, an IATA Cargo 2000 compliant Cargo Data Management Platform (CDMP)

EzyCustoms™ provides a user-friendly solution to allow airlines operation staff, through a standard web browser, to ensure timely submission* of electronic air cargo and flight information to a growing community of Customs agencies. (*where applicable, EzyCustoms™ provides an automatic data validation for compliance check, as well as intelligent alert for exception handling before final submission of air conveyance reports to Customs agencies). GLSHK’s EzyCustoms™ helps airlines to comply with CBSA regulations and exchange information in a timely manner, reduce operation workload, minimize data re-entry and errors with minimal system investment and efforts.

Together with EzyCargo™ platform and Traxon network, GLSHK offers various service and connection options for airlines to exchange information with freight forwarders, Customs authorities, Post Offices and other major players in the transportation chain.
