CAS (Customs Accounting System) is an automated customs declarations solution provided by Customs4Trade (C4T) that aims to simplify customs management for multinational companies. According to the vendor, CAS automates customs and trade compliance processes, offering end-to-end automation, compliance, and process optimization. It is designed to cater to businesses of all sizes and is utilized by customs and trade professionals, supply chain managers, logistics managers, import/export managers, compliance officers, as well as various industries including manufacturing companies, retailers, automotive industry, and FMCG (Fast-Moving Consumer Goods) industry.

## Key Features

**CAS Declarations**: According to the vendor, CAS automates declaration filing, potentially reducing cost, shipment lead time, and administrative and duty costs. It supports multiple declaration types for import, export, and transit in multiple countries, aiming to accelerate import/export time and ensure compliance.

**Special Procedures**: The vendor claims that CAS allows for the implementation of special duty regimes such as Customs Warehousing, Inward Processing, Outward Processing, End Use, and Temporary Admission. It provides advanced administration capabilities for customs authorities' authorizations and offers the potential for suspension, partial or complete relief from import duty.

**Master Data**: CAS allows users to configure, maintain, and re-use organizational data, potentially increasing the accuracy and efficiency of declaration filing. According to the vendor, it automatically populates declarations with master data elements, including organizational structure, customs authorizations, item master data, and business partners. It also integrates with WMS or ERP systems for uniform data across platforms.

**Insights**: The vendor states that CAS provides access to customs data from all locations worldwide and offers intuitive dashboards and built-in reporting to review relevant KPIs. It claims to provide real-time status updates on shipment and declaration inquiries, aiming to offer visibility into the totality of customs operations for informed management decisions.

**Single Message Double Filing**: According to the vendor, CAS enables the simultaneous filing of an export declaration from the country of departure and an import declaration in the country of destination, combined with transit to ensure frictionless border crossing. It claims that one single message can handle all the declarations needed for a shipment, potentially reducing lead time and ensuring seamless cross-border movement.

**Integration**: CAS integrates with WMS or ERP systems for real-time data exchange. The vendor claims that users can automate integration using intuitive APIs, upload data using Excel files, or add data manually in the CAS User Interface. According to the vendor, this flexibility allows for integration with existing systems and reduces integration efforts.

**Scalability**: The vendor states that CAS follows a modular approach, enabling easy onboarding and expansion. Users can start with the most immediate automation and add-on modules as needed, aiming to optimize and grow customs operations.

**Validation**: CAS performs daily validity checks on commodity codes and other legal content, potentially ensuring compliant and error-free declarations. According to the vendor, this feature aims to reduce the risk of delays and fines due to incorrect or missing tariff codes.

**Automation**: The vendor claims that CAS automates the creation and submission of customs declarations, potentially reducing administrative burden and speeding up turnaround times. It aims to save costs and minimize manual intervention.
