Abstract
A system and method are provided that present users with a platform to complete and self-file customs entry forms for goods transported across an international border, wherein the system and method enable the user to resolve a flagged exception from a customs agency through an automated computerized response or by using customs-broker resources via the digital network. The system further enables a user to validate submitted and cleared custom entry forms by setting parameters to dictate a level of auditing conducted by customs-broker resources. As such, users can readily complete and file the necessary customs entry forms while maintaining customs-broker resources on the back-end for selective auditing and resolving issues with a customs agency, thereby lowering associated overhead costs through a reduced dependency on customs-broker resources.
