Why integrate at all?
Integrated filing removes duplicate data entry between transport management systems, warehouse systems and customs software. It also cuts rejection rates by using validated master data.
Integration points
- Consignor and consignee master data from CRM or TMS
- Commodity codes from product masters or ERP
- Guarantee data from finance or treasury systems
- Route and office data from routing engines ## Data mapping
Map commercial invoice lines to goods items. Map shipping units to house consignments. Map the top-level movement to the consignment record. For the full NCTS declaration workflow, review how each mapping supports the IE015 message.
Message handling
Send IE015 to the office of departure. Parse the returned MRN and store it against the movement record. Handle functional error responses at the field level.
TAD distribution
Once the TAD is issued, distribute the PDF and MRN barcode to drivers, subcontractors and third-party portals through your integration layer.
