Types of mandates

Customs Mandates

We understand that not all customs operations are the same, and neither are the mandates required. That's why our solution supports all mandate types you need to run your business effectively.

Our solution supports every type of customs mandate, so you can handle all scenarios in one place:

  • Direct Representation (Direct Agent Mandate) - the agent files the declaration in the name and on behalf of the importer/exporter, often when the customer wants control but uses the agent for submission.
  • Indirect Representation - the agent files in their own name but on behalf of the customer, common when the customer lacks a local EORI or prefers the agent to handle formalities in their own name.
  • Transport Mandate - allows a freight forwarder or carrier to arrange and handle transport-related formalities in the customer's name.
  • Special Procedure Authorization Mandates - cover special customs procedures like inward/outward processing, temporary admission, or customs warehousing.
  • Excise Mandates - for excise duty declarations on alcohol, tobacco, and energy products.
  • General Power of Attorney - receive all of above mandates with one signature.

With all mandate types supported in a single system, you avoid juggling multiple processes and ensure you always have the right authorization ready.

Environmental & Regulatory Reporting Mandates

Environmental and sustainability-related regulations are becoming a central part of international trade, and the authorizations needed to comply with them can vary just as much as in customs. That's why our solution supports all relevant mandate types, so you can manage every reporting requirement in one place.

Our platform allows you to handle all environmental and regulatory mandates efficiently, including:

  • CBAM Reporting Mandate - authorization to submit Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism reports on behalf of the importer, including emissions data and product-level information.
  • EUDR Compliance Mandate - permission to file due diligence statements under the EU Deforestation Regulation, ensuring all required product origin and traceability data is submitted correctly.
  • EU ETS / MRV Mandate - authority to handle EU Emissions Trading System or Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification submissions for shipping emissions.
  • F-Gas or Other Environmental Reporting Mandates - authorization to submit reports for regulated substances or other environmental compliance programs.

With all mandate types supported in a single digital system, you can manage diverse environmental and compliance requirements without juggling multiple processes or platforms - keeping operations smooth, compliant, and ready for audits.

Security & Safety Filing Mandates

Security and safety filings are critical for protecting global supply chains and meeting legal entry and exit requirements. The authorizations needed for these filings vary depending on the shipment, the transport mode, and the destination country. That's why our solution supports all mandate types you need to submit these filings quickly, accurately, and in compliance with regulations.

Our platform supports every type of security and safety filing mandate, so you can handle all scenarios in one place:

  • ENS / ICS2 Filing Mandate - authorization to submit Entry Summary Declarations for imports into the EU, ensuring goods are pre-cleared for security before arrival.
  • EXS Filing Mandate - permission to submit Exit Summary Declarations for goods leaving the EU.
  • Advance Cargo Information (ACI) Mandate - authorization to send required cargo data to destination customs authorities (e.g., Canada, Egypt) before shipment.
  • AMS / ISF Mandate - for US-bound shipments, authorizing submission of Automated Manifest System or Importer Security Filings on behalf of the customer.
  • General Power of Attorney - one signature to cover all security and safety filing mandates, ensuring you can act on your customer's behalf across multiple jurisdictions.
