Details
THE wholly-owned subsidiary of the Lufthansa Group, Lufthansa Systems, announced that its Electronic Logistics & Warehouse Information System (ELWIS), with its new interface that supports the entry summary declarations required under ICS (Import Control System) regulations, will help simplify the work of cargo handlers.
The new European ICS stipulates that when goods are first brought into the European Union, an electronic entry summary declaration must be submitted to the respective national customs office of first entry prior to the arrival of the cargo.
The company explained that through its integrated ICS interface, ELWIS enables handling agents to communicate with the connected customs authorities, generate entry summary declarations and receive the movement reference numbers (MRN) allocated by the customs authorities for the safekeeping of the cargo.
ELWIS covers the entire cargo handling workflow - from physical handling, documentation and generation of air cargo documents, to recipient notification, customs clearance and billing. For physical handling in the warehouse, ELWIS offers a special module for mobile data recording which quickly and efficiently scans, records and links items of cargo and storage areas, helping to integrate all elements of the transport chain in a single process.
