No Comments

WATERLOO, Ontario, March 28, 2016 -- Descartes Systems Group (Nasdaq: DSGX) (TSX: DSG), the global leader in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced that John S. James Co., a leading freight forwarder and customs house broker, is using Descartes' custom house broker solution to ensure compliance with the March 31, 2016 U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) deadline for mandatory use of the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) for certain entry types.

ACE is the U.S. government's single window to trade that enables businesses to better communicate to CBP and Partner Government Agencies (PGAs) through a centralized platform. CBP announced that select entries and entry summaries through ACE are required beginning March 31, 2016. Specifically, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) for Lacey Act compliance and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) data associated with the mandated ACE entry filings are required by the March 31, 2016 deadline.

"As a premier provider of brokerage and freight forwarding services, we are constantly striving to deliver services that extend our value to our customers and help ensure that their goods flow seamlessly despite changing regulatory requirements," said Myra Reynolds, Corporate Compliance Manager at John S.

In addition to the ACE enhancements, we're also pleased with the complementary offerings from Descartes. Services such as denied parties screening and global trade content support our ability to deliver a comprehensive and differentiated service experience by helping our clients vet potential trading partners and minimize the duties and tariffs they pay."
