Westfield, N.J.-based QuestaWeb Inc., a provider of Web-based integrated global trade management
(GTM) solutions, has been certified on the Automated Broker Interface (ABI) for the US Customs and
Border Protection’s (CBP) new Automated Commercial Environment (ACE). QuestaWeb is the first vendor
to receive ACE ABI certification, which enables the company to transmit and receive data on
imported merchandise through a direct electronic interface with CBP.
Currently, only customs brokers and importers using QuestaWeb’s TradeMasterQW GTM solution
can benefit from the new compliance system’s benefits, which include improved organized entry
summary filing and response guides; ability to query and electronically override Census warnings; a
new entry summary status notification messaging process; and two-way communication capabilities
between the filer and CBP.
“QuestaWeb is committed to maintaining its position as a leader in the global trade
management field,” said Leon Turetsky, CEO, QuestaWeb. “We were among the first companies to obtain
ABI certification, so it is not at all surprising that we would be the first to achieve ACE ABI
certification. While the testing process was demanding, certification brings untold business
benefits to our customers and was well worth the effort. By being on the leading edge of GTM
technology, QuestaWeb continues to a deliver distinct business advantage to its customers.”
