Every importer wants to increase Customs compliance and supply chain control and decrease costs.
We’ve found these are the driving forces behind direct-filing your Customs entries. Below are examples
of our 3 C’s of direct-filing.

Compliance
  No one knows your product better, or will demonstrate greater “reasonable care”     in the preparation and filing of your customs entries, than your own personnel.

  Companies who direct-file their entries generally increase their compliance rating     with Customs and Border Protection (CBP) by several percentage points.

In many cases we’ve found that the majority of US Importers are already providing    the essential entry data (such as tariff classification, value and origin) to their    appointed broker. If that’s the case, the remaining data elements on the CBP entry    document are elementary in nature (such as vessel name and import date).

You get up-to-the-minute real time information directly from CBP so you’re better    informed and have the most recent CBP Directives and Administrative Messages.

TRG Direct^® facilitates the payment of duties by using CBP’s ACH debit or credit system.
   TRG Direct^® clients with ACE accounts can benefit from a one-time cash flow improvement
   by leveraging the CBP Periodic Monthly Statement (PMS) through ACE.

Control
In the time it takes to call your broker to trace a shipment, you can actually file the entry directly with customs and receive the
   electronic messages related to clearance and release of the consignment directly from CBP.

TRG Direct^® customers have much greater visibility into their supply chains.

TRG Direct^® customers are in better touch with their vendor’s performance on the timeliness and accuracy of documentation
   presented by them. This allows TRG Direct^® clients to immediately address compliance issues with their vendors or suppliers resulting
   in dramatically improved compliance.

Using TRG Direct^® gives you the ability to pre-file your entries with CBP and actually obtain clearance information up to five (5) full
   days before the vessel arrives at its US port of destination. Assuming your consignment isn’t targeted by CBP for examination, pre-
   filed and pre-cleared shipments can be moved as soon as the vessel completes discharging. In some cases you can actually take one
   or two full days out of your supply chain transit time resulting in greater efficiency and improved cash flow.

Converting to TRG Direct^® can be accomplished at your own pace. Direct-filing your entries is not an “all or nothing” proposition. The
   transition can be done in a phased or gradual approach, while maintaining relationships with your existing customs broker.


Cost
The savings of the difference in cost between your current entry through your broker (probably $75 or more) and TRG Direct^® can be
   significant. In a highly competitive environment, Importers are always looking for ways to reduce costs. TRG Direct^® represents an
   opportunity for Importers to save up to 80% on brokerage fees and expenses; while significantly improving their compliance
   and control.

When using the TRG Direct^® entry system, your entry fees are fixed (based on the pricing plan you chose, $20 or $30); not variable,
   depending on the lines of classification, number of commercial invoices, or other ancillary typical charges.

When 10+2 is rolled out, our system will be retrofitted with the appropriate screens for transmission of the Security Filing (10+2
   data) and your company will save the difference between the retail cost of the 10+2 data set and TRG Direct^®s pricing which will be
   approximately 75-80% less than market prices.

TRG Direct^® provides your company with internet based ABI connectivity 24 x 7 x 365, for one low fee, with no minimums and no
   maximums.
