The movement of goods through customs in the import country can be tracked through the customs entry module.
You can track the following information in the customs entry module:
Forms
Protests
Timelines
Shipments, orders, and items
Departure, arrival, export, and import dates
Missing documents
Bills of lading and containers
Charges and assessments
Licenses and visas
A customs entry batch program transmits data to brokers so they can prepare the necessary documentation. When you finalize transportation records in the transportation module, the customs entries are created automatically. As additional information is acquired, it can be entered manually.
When the charges and assessments are complete, you can choose to allocate the costs to the actual landed cost module. When the customs entry is complete, you can confirm the record. If you have access to the Oracle Retail Invoice Matching product, non-merchandise invoices are created automatically from confirmed customs entries.
