The coming International Trade Data System will allow businesses to transmit data through the Automated Export System for agencies that require reporting on paper, said CBP in a message to exporters (here). "The modernized information communication infrastructure provided by the ITDS will also enable improvements to current logistics and border management processes which would, in turn, simplify the export process and facilitate enforcement of U.S. trade, security, safety, and environmental laws," said CBP. "Agencies will have authorized access to accurate and timely electronic export data to better orchestrate reviews and develop common risk-management policies and systems. In addition, businesses will also have authorized access to their own data through the 'single window' for recordkeeping and to ensure compliance." The White House last year created a deadline for ITDS completion by 2016 (see 14021928).
