Standards from the first click

Harmonised System codes and UN/LOCODE ports of entry, the references a customs declaration is built from, so nothing is re-keyed downstream.

Credentials anyone can check

Every permit is a signed credential. A border officer or trading partner verifies it by scanning the QR code, without calling the issuing office.

Connected to the region

Issued and revoked permits are queued for CaribSYS, the CARICOM single-window trade data system, with a retry queue so none are lost.
