Expedient now provides the ability for Expedient to check if the Broker has the appropriate level of authority to submit Entries to Customs within specified values (similar to Payment Levels). Expedient will allow your site to set the Lodgement Authority Levels and assign Brokers to a Level. Expedient will check the Customs Entry value against the Brokers Lodgement Authority Level at the time of submission and stop the submission if the Customs Value exceeds the Broker’s authority.
Please contact Expedient Software through Support Tracker if your site would like this functionality.
