eCustoms ABI Software vs iCustoms

eCustoms ABI Software is a web-based import compliance solution for organizations handling cross-border and foreign-trade requirements. It provides visibility from pre-notification through release, ABI entry, and liquidation, and submits import entries directly to U.S. Customs through ABI. Shipment data is parsed into the required format, while returned information supports shipment tracking and compliance monitoring. The software covers declaration filing, HS classification, duty and tax calculation, and compliance records in a single-country region. Its Integration Module transfers purchase-order data from existing business systems for ABI preparation and transmission; eCustoms says ERP integration can reduce data entry for 3461 release and 7501 entry summary transmissions. Integrations are described for SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Salesforce, and home-grown or legacy systems. Alerts identify compliance violations for follow-up. Deployment services include project management, analysis, configuration, installation, testing, and training. Pricing is available on request. eCustoms was founded in 1981 and is headquartered in Atlanta.
