What Is RLF and how can it benefit your company?
Remote Location Filing (RLF) is a program created by Customs as one of the “Customs Mod Act” enacted in 1993. It allows for entry types 01 and 11 (informal) to be electronically filed and cleared in ports other than where PAC Customs Services is located.
As an Licensed Customs Broker, PAC Customs Services can transmit electronic entry data via the Automated Broker Interface(ABI) to ports with RLF capabilities.

One key component in RLF entries is that the Importer of Record must have a continuous bond on file with Customs in order for clearance.
What Is ACH and how can it benefit your company?
Automated Clearing House (ACH) is the name of an electronic network for financial transactions established within the US. The rules and regulations which govern the ACH network are established by NACHA-The Electronic Payments Association, and the Federal Reserve. Many businesses are increasingly using ACH to collect from customers online, rather than accepting credit or debit cards or simply waiting for checks as they have done in the past.
An ACH transaction starts with the Importer of Record authorizing US Customs to issue ACH debit to an account. Accounts are identified by the bank's Routing Number and the account number within that bank.
US Customs ACH allows for an electronic payment for Importers to pay Customs fees, duties, and taxes electronically. ACH is a straightforward procedure accomplished through a series of simple electronic transactions. Throughout the process there are no paper payments and no cashiers.
ACH automates the time consuming method of using cash and checks to pay duties and fees on imported merchandise. The accuracy and speed of ACH results in a higher volume of completed transactions for the importer and Customs, saving time and money. ACH fulfills the need for swift, accurate payment transfers in today's competitive business environment.
