What are the benefits of ACAS from a freight forwarder perspective?

While the benefits of ACAS participation vary between organizations, several advantages include: 
  1. Avoiding the reduced cut-off times that may result from carriers requesting earlier data submission from freight forwarders that are not ACAS filers.
  2. Facilitating freight forwarder business operations by increasing consolidation lead-times through improved visibility into which shipments require enhanced screening.
  3. Increasing security by leveraging DHS threat data and other data to employ a risk-based approach through targeted screening.
