Cuba Customs requires detailed information for air shipments bound for Cuba or with a stop that lands in the country. This is a modernization and data improvement initiative that aims to secure revenue collections, ensure national security and promote trade facilitation worldwide. In addition to requiring more robust shipment manifest details, Cuba’s Air AEI requirements include duration-specific timeframes for submission.
The Descartes Cuba Air Advance Electronic Information (Descartes Cuba Air AEI™) solution is a comprehensive application that helps air carriers and freight forwarders submit the required information to Cuba within the specified timeframes.
With a history of offering a flexible range of solutions to meet regulatory requirements, Descartes offers a range of flexible options for filers to comply with the regulation including: (1) a web-based option; and (2) an integrated Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) solution for large-volume shippers. With multiple validations, checks and balances performed prior to each submission, the Descartes Cuba Air AEI solution is a premiere product that helps businesses reduce costs and drive-up productivity.
