How It Works


Once a transporter enters the transaction number, the modernized tracker replies with either a JSON or XML message that gives real-time U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) results. Truckers don’t need to contact their broker to see if the goods are ready to move, and trains don’t need to stop to remove a car if the cargo isn’t ready for clearance. Stopped cargo not only takes a lot of time, but it can also accrue fees such as rail fees, additional trucker fees, and port demurrage, among other issues.

Keeping track of clearance statuses becomes even more challenging when multiple transporters are depending on an employee to give them clearance. Not only does this tie up the broker’s time, but it can also slow down the transactions.

It should be mentioned that ITS designed the ITS NxGen PAPS Tracker to give up-to-date information from U.S. Customs and Border Protection so that you avoid unnecessary delays.

Simply put, the ITS NxGen PAPS Tracker is a self-serving process that eliminates the need to coordinate multiple people, saving additional processing time and resources
