Export Filing Data Check Agent

Every export filing is consistent across documents and cleared for license and party checks before filing.

Export Filing Data Check Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

An export is held at the port because the filing says 100 cartons and the packing list says 110, and no one checked whether a license was needed. Before each filing, this agent compares values, codes, quantities and consignee details across the commercial invoice, packing list and the draft filing. It checks whether the item and destination need an export license and runs the consignee and parties through restricted party lists. It lists every mismatch. Items that fail go back to the shipper for correction and the whole check reruns from the top. It prepares a clean data sheet. The broker approves the filing. Edge case: the destination is allowed, but the end user is on a restricted list.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

It blocks a filing on any mismatch of value, quantity or party, any missing license that is required, or any restricted party hit.

  • Block on a value mismatch over 1 percent.
  • Block on any quantity or weight mismatch.
  • Block on a missing required license.
  • Block on any restricted party match until reviewed.

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Value tolerance (default 1 percent)
  • Screening lists used
  • License rules by destination
  • Documents required

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Broker approves the filing

Hard limits

  • Never file itself
  • Never clear a restricted party hit without the broker

It stops when

  • Done: all checks pass and the filing is approved.
  • Stop: a restricted party hit that the broker cannot clear.

An example run

What happensA shipment of pumps showed 100 cartons on the draft filing and 110 on the packing list, and the value differed by 2,300 dollars. The check failed. The shipper corrected both documents. On the rerun, the license check found the destination required a license for a pump model, and the shipper supplied the number. The broker approved the filing.
