July 16 (UPI) -- In a continued crackdown on Mexico's drug cartels, the Treasury Department announced Tuesday it placed sanctions on four Mexican companies and three Mexican nationals allegedly tied to fraudulent timeshare activity used against American citizens and linked to the notorious Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion.
"Cartel fraudsters run sophisticated teams of professionals who seem perfectly normal on paper or on the phone -- but in reality, they're money launderers expertly trained in scamming U.S. citizens," Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Brian E. Nelson said Tuesday in a news release.
The department's office of Foreign Assets Control alleges the four Mexican companies and three Mexican civilian accountants were directly or indirectly tied to timeshare fraud lead by the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion, or styled in English as the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.
The criminal organization operates call centers in Mexico with scammers impersonating U.S.-based third-party timeshare brokers, attorneys or sales representatives, the U.S. government contends.
And about 6,000 U.S. citizens reported losing nearly $300 million from 2019 to 2023 via Mexican timeshare fraud crimes by targeting American timeshare owners often in various or complex ways in years-long schemes, according to the FBI, adding that totals what they can track legally as unreported crimes keep on.
Treasury points at four companies in Mexico: Constructora Sandgris, Pacific Axis Real Estate, Realty & Maintenance BJ and Bona Fide Consultores, which the department claims were the front companies doing business on behalf of those linked to Mexican drug cartel.
Nelson says unsolicited calls and emails may look legitimate but actually are made by cartel-backed criminals.
The Treasury claims the thee Puerto Vallarta-based accountants -- Griselda Margarita Arredondo, Xeyda Del Refugio Foubert and Emiliano Sanchez -- had family ties to individuals already cartel-linked and had allegedly aided in fraudulent activities to steal from U.S. citizens.
"If something seems too good to be true, it probably is," Nelson said.
The scam begins when a timeshare owner receives an offer to purchase their property, according to an attorney.
"They call you up and tell you that they have a buyer for your timeshare," Michael Finn of Florida's Finn Law Group, told ABC News. "They will send you documents that look real and tell you that you need to pay taxes before you can get your payment."
The Treasury Department and its partners are taking steps to deploy all available tools "to disrupt this nefarious activity, which funds things like deadly drug trafficking and human smuggling," said Nelson.
Five years ago in 2018 Treasury sanctioned two men it claimed laundered money and ran an international prostitution ring for the cartel.
The transnational CJNG, a violent Jalisco, Mexico-based organized crime syndicate, is known to traffic the large part of illicit fentanyl and other deadly drugs which typically enter via the southern U.S. border, having gone so far as to threaten Mexican journalists it views as giving the CJNG "unfair" news coverage.
And it uses illegal proceeds, like from its timeshare fraud schemes, to diversify its already-illicit revenue streams in order to keep financing other criminal activities, including the manufacturing and trafficking of fentanyl and other synthetic drugs, according to the federal government's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.
Police seizure of illicit fentanyl pills have skyrocketed in recent years, a new study found. And pills represented 49% of illicit fentanyl seizures in 2023, compared to 10% in 2017.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection in April launched "Operation Plaza Strike" as an offensive targeting Mexican drug cartels to disrupt the flow of fentanyl and ingredients used to make the synthetic opioid that has become a leading death of young Americans.
However, this is not the first time the CJNG has been accused by the U.S. of similar crimes. Last year in March, the Biden Treasury placed similar sanction on eight other Mexican companies it alleged had took part in a similar timeshare fraud scheme on behalf of the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generation.
Even at the time a Treasury official pointed to how in select Mexican tourist destinations the CJNG had already become by that point "heavily engaged" in timeshare fraud in places like Puerto Vallarta where it had gained a strategic foothold.
Last year, the U.S. claimed the accused cartel-backed companies had extracted money from victims by making unsolicited offers to buy their timeshares, and when victims accepted offers, Mexican scammers requested fictitious fees and taxes under the pretense they would facilitate the sale and give reimbursed money after closing.

On July 5th 1530, Scottish folk hero Johnnie Armstrong of Gilnockie was captured and hanged at Caerlanrig chapel.
This was an atrocious betrayal by the Stewart monarch James V, not just because Armstrong was lured into a trap with a "safe passage" promise, but up to 50 border reivers loyal to him were also put to death.
John Armstrong of Langholm and Staplegorton was a notorious Border reiver from the powerful Armstrong family. A plunderer and raider, he operated along the lawless borderlands and would change allegiances as the balance of power shifted. He led a band of a hundred and sixty men, despite having no income from rents. At this time there were no laws against the Reivers, it wasn't until 1667 The borders custom of paying blackmail to avoid kidnapping was outlawed;, both Scottish and English power brokers used the Border Reivers for their own political games until then.
Armstrong operated with impunity for some years under the protection of Robert Maxwell, 5th Lord Maxwell, as a leader of a gang of raiders. He burnt Netherby in Cumberland in 1527, in return for which William Dacre, 3rd Baron Dacre burnt him out at Canonbie in 1528. Gavin Dunbar, the Archbishop of Glasgow and Chancellor of Scotland, intervened with an excommunication for Armstrong, whose activities made the central authority look weak and were a hindrance to diplomacy with England. When King James V took personal control of the situation, Armstrong and his men were to be dealt with swiftly and severely as rebels. In 1530, he put together an army from the loyal Lairds and marched on the Borders to try to suppress what he saw were the worst of the ‘Theives and lymmaris’.
This led to the execution of William Cockburn of Henderland and Adam Scott of Tushielaw. Armstrong was also captured. The king had promised him safe conduct, but he was hanged and buried along with forty to fifty of his men in the chapel graveyard. A memorial opposite the new church was erected in 1897, and an older memorial stone marks the nearby grave site.
A romanticised picture of Armstrong was promoted by the nineteenth-century writings of Sir Walter Scott and Herbert Maxwell. The ballads first saw print in Allan Ramsay’s collection ‘Ever Green’ in 1724 and later appeared in Caw’s ‘Poetical Museum’ in 1784 and Scott’s Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border.

The trucking industry is one of the most regulated in the U.S. and Canada, which means compliance is always a top concern for transportation industries. This is especially true when it comes to cross-border freight. These days, border officials rely on digital documents to make the customs process smoother. Having the right software can make this process easy and reduce the risk of errors. Here are a few ways AVAAL eManifest software can make border crossing easy for your business.
Compliance Made Simple
To run a successful trucking business, compliance always needs to be a top priority. Not following the required customs process or accurately filling out documentation can result in lost time, reduced profits, and even legal consequences. Both Canada and the U.S. require carriers to submit their eManifests one hour prior and send their paperwork to customs brokers two hours prior to a driver’s arrival at the border. With AVAAL’s eManifest software, submitting this has never been easier. Our software is tailor-made to meet all the requirements so that you can cross the border without any hassles and be confident that you’re complying with all regulations.
Easy to Use Platform
Both the U.S. and Canada currently offer their own free eManifest portal. Unfortunately, these are difficult to use and not designed to support carriers that regularly cross the border. These platforms also don’t share data between ACE and ACI, creating issues for cross-border trucking companies. AVAAL eManifest is easy to use and reliable. It’s web-based software, meaning you can submit your manifests at any time and from anywhere. Our software also comes with 24/7 support, so we will be available to help you if any issues arise.
Tailored to Your Business' Needs
Not all trucking companies have the same needs, even when it comes to border-crossing. One thing that sets our eManifest software apart from others is that it can be tailor-fit to meet your company’s needs. Whether you’re a single operator or a multi-national company, we offer the greatest level of flexibility and have an eManifest plan to suit your requirements. We have a team of experts on hand ready to help you with all your businesses’ needs.
PAPS and PARS: How to Speed Up Your Cross-Border Shipments
PAPS (Pre-Arrival Processing System) and PARS (Pre-Arrival Review System) are essential components in cross-border trade between Canada and the United States. Let’s explore what they are and how they facilitate the movement of commercial goods across the Canadian and U.S. borders:
PARS (Pre-Arrival Review System):
Designation: PARS is used by the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) to clear commercial goods through customs.
Functionality: It involves bar code labels placed on commercial invoices. CBSA agents scan these labels to determine whether goods need immediate release or further inspection.
Integration: PARS works with the ACI (Advance Commercial Information) electronic manifest system in Canada.
PAPS (Pre-Arrival Processing System):
Designation: PAPS is the U.S. counterpart of PARS.
Functionality: Similar to PARS, it allows U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to process goods as they cross the border.
Integration: PAPS operates within the ACE (Automated Commercial Environment) electronic manifest system in the United States.
Similarities and Differences:
Both PARS and PAPS serve the same purpose: facilitating the movement of goods.
The main difference lies in their geographical scope: PARS for Canada, PAPS for the USA.
Having similar systems streamlines importing and exporting between the two countries.
When Do You Need PARS or PAPS Numbers?
Any commercial shipments entering Canada or the U.S. by truck use PARS or PAPS numbers as the default shipping type.
The PARS/PAPS process involves carriers, shippers, and customs brokers working together to ensure smooth border crossings.
Here’s how it works:
A carrier assigns a PARS or PAPS number to a shipment.
The customs broker uses this number to request the release of the shipment from customs.
The carrier prepares an eManifest listing using ACI (Canada) or ACE (U.S.), referencing the PARS or PAPS number.
Only when both the broker’s entry and the carrier’s eManifest listing are accepted can the goods proceed to the border.
Customs officers verify the PARS or PAPS number to release the goods or refer them for inspection.
In summary, PARS and PAPS play a crucial role in expediting cross-border trade, ensuring compliance, and enhancing efficiency for carriers and importers.

Ma'am, I just work here
Working in a pawn shop in Baldur's Gate sometimes means being privy to the most interesting items, even those that maybe you should have never put your hands on.
or: Raphael visits the most unfortunate little pawn shop worker
It's another quiet day at the "Brokering Gate", a little smarmy pawn office that lies between the recently collapsed Steel Watcher Foundry and the Guilt docks, a blocked-off area for incoming trade that remains just barely under the table. Ever since the rubble of that huge flying brain mass came down, there has been a weird rotting note to the air that borders on repugnant just barely. To keep the worst of it out, most of the "Gate's" shutters have been closed and enchanted with a shield-type spell – Yas doesn't care much for the details – due to their windows being blown to shittereens during the initial blast. It's a wonder, or curse depending on who you ask, that the shop still stands.
Yas hates, absolutely loathes working at the "Brokering Gate" on account of its weird customers and despicable owner, but she also hates not having anything to eat or a roof over her head, so in the end she just has to bite the bulette. And with the evasion of total annihilation comes some perks. People find the most interesting things to sell amidst the chaos coming to their silly little pawn shop, their competitors having mostly been wiped out or turned into ilithids.
One of those people had surprisingly been none other than THE hero, Tav, and their merry band of weirdos waltzing into the store, most of them heaving under the weight of overfilling pouches and backpacks, the jingle-jangle filling the air when the bags hit the ground. It had been a bad day for their accounts but a good one for stuffing the shop up the roof with items of varying usefulness.
One of these items had been a trilogy of diaries. As soon as Yas opened them during a lull in the shop she knew she had found her new obsession for the next weeks. Two of the three books were filled to the brim with mischief, silly little poems, intricate plans, or just daily developments, all written by some seemingly third-grade bard working hard to fill his made-up fantasy with lore. The third one however stopped halfway through, leaving an open end to the saga of the writer, a self-serving schemer hungering for power over the Nine Hells, and his assumed dalliance with the so-called hero, a tadpoled fool trapsing through the world the writer seemingly controlled.
Usually, Yas wouldn't go for such bottom-of-the-barrel fiction, but after skimming over them she had decided to fully embrace their weirdness.
Now it's deep into the afternoon and instead of having another go at the inventory she stands entranced at the counter ruffling through the pages, giggling to herself.
"Predilection. Who talks like that?", she quietly murmurs, although a part of her envies the artful usage of these special little words. With a grin, Yas comforts herself by imagining the fop with this kind of speech trying to order a beer at the bar she works her evening shifts at.
The soft little chime from the bell above their entrance takes her back to the store and she mentally readies her customer service personality. In walks an older man, a slight limp to his right leg, steadying himself on an intricate wooden cane with golden inlays, the soft tock of it accompanying the scraping of his "good" foot across the floor. Yet something about his demeanor stops her from emphasizing with him. His "warm" smile sends shivers down her spine, not the good kind, his left hand readies itself in the air for a grand gesture and his clothes look preened and faultless. She knows she probably can't hide it behind her fake smile, but all she feels is disdain.
Yet when the man starts to talk, she does notice that his voice has a deep rumble that resonates with her. Yas gets a good look at his sharp features and soft skin, since no matter what he says, he can't seem to stand still, instead opting for theatrical movement and emphasis on his words with every twitch of his face. "My dear bespackled attendant of this fine éstablissement, may I use some of your precious time to inquire about some items that might have found their way into your possession? Obviously, your help will be well compensated should you have any of these items at hand. I have had quite the adventure searching all over town and imagine my unbridled surprise upon finding out that there was still one last market to peruse. Resting amidst the-"
By this point Yas has already put two and two together, looking forward to the peacock finishing his exhausting monologue and confirming her suspicion. In the meantime she nods politely along, adding some "Uhuu's" and "no way's" here and there, nearly draining her affirmative vocabulary, until she finally has it and simply moves the diary she had been reading across the counter.
That shuts him up all right. As soon as his eyes spy the unassuming, worn-down cover, a wave of joy washes over his features, quickly hidden away just so, behind his noble mask.
She hopes that between his grandiose entrance and the following speech, he never realized that she was actively reading one of his diaries, before pushing it out of the way. When trying to glean his face for a reaction all she gets is the usual calm demeanor.
"I'm sorry for interrupting you, but from my colleagues' descriptions, this book and its siblings might be the item you're looking for. If you would like we can verify this by counter-checking the text with your description." Yas is trying everything not to let her face betray that she knows about the innards of this book or that she can't believe that the writer is the guy in front of her. It's never good to directly laugh at a customer.
A shadow crawls over the customer's face and suddenly her giddiness dissipates into fear. Unlike before, this time she feels like the show of emotion is meant for her. Yas quickly puts up her hands in defense: "I'm so sorry that my colleagues rustled around in your private property but they had to make sure none of the books were cursed or dangerous in a similar fashion. Obviously, I have no interest in further violating your privacy."
Now a toothy smile flashes across his features and instead of the cane he now leans onto the counter, somehow still being taller than Yas standing at full height. "My dear friend, I am so very grateful for your understanding. The loss of these precious memories has left me quite hurt and it would not do to add to this pain. There is no need for you to read more of the text, there should be a sigil on the blurp, simply lay it out here and I will show you."
With an unsure grin of her own, she does as he bids and lays down the book, blurp for both to see. A swift motion later he holds a dagger in his hand, much to the shock of Yas, yet before she can exclaim her bewilderment, he simply pokes himself in the finger and vanishes it just as quickly as he conjured it. A distinct smell of sulphur fills her nose and she gets a bit queasy looking at two drops of blood spilling on the page of the book.
A second ticks by and suddenly a fiery symbol burns itself into the book.
The silence afterward is palatable.
"Yeah. I guess this is yours, huh." Yas is sure that she is not getting paid enough to deal with what kind of fiery devil shit this might be, so she just shrugs and goes to the backroom to get the other books. She wants this man out of the shop as soon as possible.
As soon as she comes back into his view, he starts up again: "Thank you very much, dear. Say, you don't happen to have some hellishly delicious paintings lying around?"
Oh no.
She knows very well where they are, but considering what Cambrin, her boss, has done to them, she decides she won't be the one to bring this up.
"There might be some more in the personal vault of my employer, but he is unfortunately not in today and won't allow anyone else into his office." Before she finishes the sentence anger flashes into his eyes and his nose scrunches, but she has an idea to smoothe him over immediately. "I'm sure he will come in in the evening to make sure everything is up to speed. Considering how late it already is, it shouldn't be long now."
That somewhat appeases her customer and she allows herself a moment of respite.
He purses his lip, a hand to his chin as if to seriously consider what she just said. "Well, I think I can offer up some more of my precious time for your employer, even though it will certainly throw around my plans for the evening. Will some of your other colleagues be there tonight? Specifically, those that wanted to sate their curiosity with these books?" He is all smiles but there's a dangerous shine to his gaze, that renders his brown eyes almost black.
"The evening shift should be taking over then, yes. We usually stay open late into the night, so we have to change it up. Considering the work plan they might be there, but I can't make any promises."
He pushes himself further onto the counter to lean closer to her face as if to share a secret just between the two of them. "Surely you have heard of the little idiom of the fortunate rat, fleeing the ship before it tragically goes down with its captain. I suppose, there are certain situations in which one should adhere to that principle, saving one's skin before it is too late." He gifts Yas another smile, this time arguably more toothy than before, his canines growing before her eyes.
She can't stop herself from mumbling: "That would make me the rat I presume." They both lock eyes and all he does to acknowledge Yas is a slight tilt of the head.
Living in Baldur's Gate is hard enough as it is, with weird tentacle monsters, bandits, and bloody murders seeping into the daily survival. And now this… thing was making it very obvious that the shop was going to see his reckoning. Maybe it was finally time to leave the city for good.
With a deep inhale she takes a step back and fishes the key to the store out of her pocket, puts it on the counter with a soft clink and slips it over to the stranger.
"A very wise decision."
Without another word or acknowledgment, she steps out behind the bar and slowly makes her way to the exit. Before she can fully leave, however, the stranger has to get in another sentence:
"I do hope you remember to keep privacy matters a higher priority from now on, my dear. After all, you never know who might be watching."
She can only nod, locking eyes with him once again before she all but runs out of the store.
The next day she will walk past the store, finding it surrounded by Flaming Fists trying to put out the fires and talking about the charred corpses inside.

One of my biggest pet peeves at my job is when clients don’t realize that we are a customs broker, not the freaking Canadian Border Services Agency themselves.
Customs brokers are not the ones who make the decisions on whether or not your shit can come over the border, we’re just the ones who tell CBSA what you’re bringing in. THEY make the decision.
If your shit rejects and the CBSA is saying there’s something missing or invalid, but we’ve already correctly entered all of the information you’ve given us, then your info is incorrect or invalid. And if it’s not then you can take it up with the actual CBSA not the freaking customs broker. 🙄

How GST Registration Can Help Your Business Grow in Andhra Pradesh
Introduction

How Freight Broker Services Can Help You Scale Your Shipping Operations?
What Is a Freight Broker Services?
A freight broker services acts as an intermediary between shippers (companies or individuals needing to transport goods) and carriers (companies with trucks or other vehicles that handle the physical transportation of goods). Brokers don’t own the vehicles or manage the warehouses but connect shippers with the right carriers, negotiating pricing, routes, and delivery schedules.
Benefits of Using Freight Brokerage Services to Scale Shipping Operations
Access to a Broad Network of Carriers
One of the primary advantages of using freight brokerage services is the access they provide to a vast network of carriers. Dispatch Company maintain relationships with hundreds or even thousands of truck dispatch company, enabling them to match your shipments with the right carriers based on your specific needs. Whether you need full truckload (FTL), less-than-truckload (LTL), refrigerated, or specialized truck transportation, dispatch company can quickly identify a carrier that best fits your requirements. This eliminates the need for you to research, vet, and negotiate with multiple carriers on your own, which can be time-consuming and complex, especially if you're scaling your operations.
Cost Efficiency and Better Rates
When you're scaling your truck shipping operations, managing costs becomes even more critical. Because dispatch company regularly consolidate shipments from multiple shippers, they can offer competitive pricing that would be difficult to secure directly with carriers, especially for smaller businesses. Additionally, dispatch company can optimize your shipping routes and load configurations, reducing empty miles and maximizing vehicle efficiency. This contributes to lower transportation costs, which is essential when scaling, as even small reductions in cost can have a significant impact on the bottom line.
Improved Time Management and Focus on Core Operations
Managing transport shipping logistics in-house requires considerable time and effort. From negotiating with carriers and tracking shipments to managing customs, paperwork, and potential disputes, there are numerous tasks that can distract from core business operations. By outsourcing these tasks to a dispatch company, you free up valuable time and resources to focus on growing other aspects of your business, such as marketing, customer service, and product development. For businesses looking to scale, it's essential to maximize operational efficiency, and delegating the complexity of logistics to a company allows you to focus on high-level business growth strategies without getting bogged down by the day-to-day logistics management.
Scalability Without the Need for Infrastructure Investment
Scaling your shipping operations often requires significant investment in infrastructure, such as additional warehouses, trucks, and personnel. However, by working with a dispatch company, you can scale your operations without incurring these large upfront costs. Truck brokerage provide flexibility in handling different shipment volumes, whether you’re experiencing seasonal surges or expanding into new regions.
Enhanced Risk Management and Compliance
Shipping goods involves numerous risks, including delays, damage, and even legal compliance issues. Truck brokerage have the expertise to help with these risks, ensuring that your shipments are delivered on time and in good condition. Company work with experienced carriers who understand the specific requirements for different types of cargo, and they are well-versed in the regulatory environment surrounding transportation. They ensure that your shipments comply with all relevant laws, from local regulations to international trade rules, which is particularly important when scaling to new markets or expanding across borders.
Real-Time Shipment Tracking and Transparency
As businesses scale their shipping operations, keeping track of shipments becomes more challenging. Truck Dispatch company offer real-time tracking and monitoring services, allowing businesses to stay updated on the status of their shipments at every stage of the journey. Company utilize advanced technology platforms that provide detailed insights into delivery times, potential delays, and shipment conditions. This level of visibility improves communication with customers and enables companies to address any issues before they become major problems. Transparency in the shipping process also enhances customer satisfaction, as businesses can provide accurate delivery estimates and proactively resolve any challenges that may arise.
Expertise in Managing Seasonal and Peak Demands
For many industries, scaling shipping operations means adjusting to seasonal fluctuations in demand. Truck brokers can help businesses navigate peak seasons (such as holidays, end-of-quarter surges, or seasonal product releases) by providing access to additional carrier capacity and expedited services. This ensures that your shipping operations remain efficient and cost-effective, even during periods of high demand.
Conclusion
As businesses look to scale their shipping operations, the need for flexibility, cost-efficiency, and expertise becomes more important. Freight broker company provide a powerful solution to address these needs by offering access to a broad carrier network, improved cost structures, scalability without infrastructure investment, enhanced risk management, and real-time shipment visibility.

The trucking industry is one of the most regulated in the U.S. and Canada, which means compliance is always a top concern for transportation industries. This is especially true when it comes to cross-border freight. These days, border officials rely on digital documents to make the customs process smoother. Having the right software can make this process easy and reduce the risk of errors. Here are a few ways AVAAL eManifest software can make border crossing easy for your business.
Compliance Made Simple To run a successful trucking business, compliance always needs to be a top priority. Not following the required customs process or accurately filling out documentation can result in lost time, reduced profits, and even legal consequences. Both Canada and the U.S. require carriers to submit their eManifests one hour prior and send their paperwork to customs brokers two hours prior to a driver’s arrival at the border. With AVAAL’s eManifest software, submitting this has never been easier. Our software is tailor-made to meet all the requirements so that you can cross the border without any hassles and be confident that you’re complying with all regulations.
Easy to Use Platform Both the U.S. and Canada currently offer their own free eManifest portal. Unfortunately, these are difficult to use and not designed to support carriers that regularly cross the border. These platforms also don’t share data between ACE and ACI, creating issues for cross-border trucking companies. AVAAL eManifest is easy to use and reliable. It’s web-based software, meaning you can submit your manifests at any time and from anywhere. Our software also comes with 24/7 support, so we will be available to help you if any issues arise.
Tailored to Your Business' Needs Not all trucking companies have the same needs, even when it comes to border-crossing. One thing that sets our eManifest software apart from others is that it can be tailor-fit to meet your company’s needs. Whether you’re a single operator or a multi-national company, we offer the greatest level of flexibility and have an eManifest plan to suit your requirements. We have a team of experts on hand ready to help you with all your businesses’ needs.
PAPS and PARS: How to Speed Up Your Cross-Border Shipments
PAPS (Pre-Arrival Processing System) and PARS (Pre-Arrival Review System) are essential components in cross-border trade between Canada and the United States. Let’s explore what they are and how they facilitate the movement of commercial goods across the Canadian and U.S. borders:
PARS (Pre-Arrival Review System):
Designation: PARS is used by the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) to clear commercial goods through customs.
Functionality: It involves bar code labels placed on commercial invoices. CBSA agents scan these labels to determine whether goods need immediate release or further inspection.
Integration: PARS works with the ACI (Advance Commercial Information) electronic manifest system in Canada.
PAPS (Pre-Arrival Processing System):
Designation: PAPS is the U.S. counterpart of PARS.
Functionality: Similar to PARS, it allows U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to process goods as they cross the border.
Integration: PAPS operates within the ACE (Automated Commercial Environment) electronic manifest system in the United States.
Similarities and Differences:
Both PARS and PAPS serve the same purpose: facilitating the movement of goods.
The main difference lies in their geographical scope: PARS for Canada, PAPS for the USA.
Having similar systems streamlines importing and exporting between the two countries.
When Do You Need PARS or PAPS Numbers?
Any commercial shipments entering Canada or the U.S. by truck use PARS or PAPS numbers as the default shipping type.
The PARS/PAPS process involves carriers, shippers, and customs brokers working together to ensure smooth border crossings.
Here’s how it works:
A carrier assigns a PARS or PAPS number to a shipment.
The customs broker uses this number to request the release of the shipment from customs.
The carrier prepares an eManifest listing using ACI (Canada) or ACE (U.S.), referencing the PARS or PAPS number.
Only when both the broker’s entry and the carrier’s eManifest listing are accepted can the goods proceed to the border.
Customs officers verify the PARS or PAPS number to release the goods or refer them for inspection.
In summary, PARS and PAPS play a crucial role in expediting cross-border trade, ensuring compliance, and enhancing efficiency for carriers and importers.

An Introduction to International Shipping: Crucial Advice on Customs and Compliance
KGRN Shipping Services Dubai. Let me know if you need further edits or enhancements!
Introduction: Using International Shipping to Grow Enterprises Worldwide
International shipping is a powerful tool for businesses looking to expand their reach beyond local borders. It opens up a world of potential customers and markets. However, while the opportunities are exciting, navigating the waters of customs regulations and compliance can feel overwhelming. Understanding these critical elements is essential to ensure smooth transactions and prevent potential delays that could hinder the growth of your enterprise
Comprehending Customs Regulations
When venturing into international shipping, one of the most complex aspects is customs regulations, which vary greatly from country to country. Each destination has its own set of rules designed to control what enters its borders and how goods are taxed. Here’s a brief overview of what you should be mindful of:
Certificates of Origin: This document certifies that the product was made in a specific country. It can influence tariffs, so be sure to check if it's required by the destination country.
Packing Lists: A detailed packing list helps customs officials understand what is in the shipment, making the clearance process smoother. This list should include item descriptions, quantities, and values.
Invoices: Accurate and detailed invoices are critical not just for customs clearance but also for accounting purposes. Make sure they reflect the true value of the goods being shipped.
Duties and Tariffs
One of the most unexpected costs that can arise during international shipping is duties and tariffs. These taxes can vary based on the type of goods being shipped and their declared value. Researching these costs in advance can save you from nasty surprises down the road.
Tip: Utilize online duty calculators to estimate costs and prepare your budget accordingly.
Example: If you're shipping electronic goods to the EU, check the specific tariffs that apply. Depending on trade agreements, your costs may differ significantly.
Prohibited Items
Every country has its list of prohibited or restricted items that cannot be imported. Before sending your products overseas, it’s crucial to verify these limitations.Highlight: Take time to review each destination’s customs regulations to avoid shipping items that could create headaches later on. For example, some countries prohibit certain food items or materials that are deemed hazardous.
International Shipping Compliance Standards
Compliance with international shipping standards is vital. This not only ensures you stay on the right side of the law but also fosters trust with your customers. Here are key areas to focus on:
Using Trade Agreements (FTAs): Familiarize yourself with available free trade agreements, as they can significantly lower tariffs on your goods.
Labelling Requirements: Each country has its own labelling requirements concerning language, symbols, and safety information. Make sure to adhere to these to avoid delays.
Sanctions and Embargoes: Stay updated on any trade restrictions or sanctions against specific countries. Ignoring them can lead to legal complications for your business.
How to Make Sure Transactions Go Well
To ensure your international shipping transactions go smoothly, consider these strategies:
Investigate Destination Laws: Before you ship, take the time to understand the laws of your destination country. This can prevent many misunderstandings.
Working with Freight Forwarders or Customs Brokers: Collaborating with professionals who specialize in customs clearance can simplify the process significantly. They have the expertise to navigate complex regulations.
Educating Teams on Compliance Protocols: Regular training for your team can enhance compliance awareness and preparedness, reducing the risk of errors.
“Taking these steps not only protects your business but also contributes to building a reliable and trustworthy international reputation.”
Conclusion
International shipping may seem daunting at first, with customs and compliance at the forefront of your worries, but understanding these processes can lead to successful global trade. By being aware of regulations, managing duties, and knowing what to avoid, you’ll position your business for overseas success. Make it a point to educate yourself and your team, and don’t hesitate to seek the help of professionals when needed. Happy shipping!

A company with a global presence might find it challenging to stay updated with different countries' customs rules and regulations. Therefore, leveraging customs brokerage services is a wise option. Customs clearance is a tedious and time-consuming process for any company. Partnering with a customs broker allows a company to focus on product shipments without worrying about customs procedures and documentation.

While you may not foresee these expenses, a customs clearance agent can help you anticipate and mitigate them, ultimately reducing your overall shipping costs.
4.Trust and Assurance
Hiring an expert customs agent for customs brokerage services reduces the burden on your employees for managing import and export shipments.

How Global Payment Systems Empower Cruise Lines?
Cruise lines offer extensive leisure services, presenting travelers with luxurious places to stay, entertainment, trips, and cashless experiences on board. They depend on effective payment systems to manage large numbers of transactions, support various currencies, and guarantee safe, easy payments for reservations, purchases on the ship, and services from vendors. For cruise lines, a proficient international payment service is essential for keeping operations running smoothly, enhancing financial management, and ensuring outstanding guest experiences.
What are International Payment Services?
International payments are also known as cross-border payments. Global payment services allow individuals and businesses to send money across different countries supporting global trade and personal transactions. These transactions often require converting one currency into another. Companies involved in international payments should adhere to banking rules and exchange rates of both the sending and receiving countries. International payments are essential for global commerce and cover various commercial operations such as paying foreign suppliers for products, compensating international staff and receiving payments from customers in other countries.
Understanding Various Aspects of International Transactions
Currency conversion is an essential aspect of global transactions as foreign exchange rates define the value of one currency against the other. Some services charge extra, raising the cost of person sending money.
The real cost of overseas transactions is impacted by transfer fees, hidden cost and recipient fees. Transfer fees may vary depending on the service provider, the amount transferred and countries involved. Sometimes, recipients incur charges too, especially when getting money in different currencies.
International payment system uses strong security methods to protect transactions. These include encryption, two-factor authentication and adherence to anti-money laundering standards to boost protection against scams.
Each country has different regulations regarding cross-border transactions including the maximum amount that can be transmitted and specific tax rules.
Different Ways to Send Money Abroad
Wire Transfer: It is one of the most commonly used methods to transfer money across borders. It involves electronic transfer of funds between financial institutions located in different countries. Wire transfers are secure and commonly used for initiating large-value transactions.
Online Payment Platforms: Different digital payment services also provide international money transfers. These sites often have choices for currency exchange and different ways to receive funds. Money can be transferred through bank accounts or debit/credit cards.
Foreign Exchange Brokers: They specialize in assisting firms and individuals to exchange currencies and make international payments. These brokers usually provide better rates and reduced charges compared to various other financial institutions.
The Role of Cloud-based Platform in Cruise Line Payments
Cruise lines have to operate in different countries and they have to engage with clients around the world. A dependable payment system is required to make payments for covering fuel or port charges, purchasing supplies for ships and arranging services for passengers. Zil.US simplifies international payments by providing wire transfer.
International wire transfer involves the process of transferring funds between different countries, specific codes like SWIFT/IBAN are required for identification purposes. On the other hand, domestic wire transfer involves moving money within the same country and typically requires routing and account numbers. With the platform, firms can manage both types of transfers.
Cruise lines that operate in various regions can take advantage of ability to open business checking accounts in the US without the need to be physically present there. This feature supported by the Zil.US enables firms to receive payments in US dollars and avoid poor exchange rates. By making use of the US-based account, firms can also make the process of settling payments to suppliers and partners in the US more straightforward.
Controlling the workforce and operational expenses on a cruise ship can be complex due to various costs that arise each day. Firms can tackle expenses accurately using corporate expense cards provided by Zil.US. One can also issue multiple cards from a single account, guaranteeing that costs are correctly distributed and recorded. Plus, there is an option to lock the cards in case of theft or loss, this ensures that only authorized persons have access to this card.
Financial transparency is essential for smooth operations of any firm. Cruise lines can maintain complete oversight over their financial activities as Zil.US records every transaction. Through the platform, they can monitor all incoming and outgoing transactions, track expenses and check account balances whenever they need. Instant monitoring also helps to swiftly detect any irregularities or payment issues.
Businesses seeking to broaden their market presence and strengthen their operations worldwide must have a strong international payment operation. Platforms like Zil.US help businesses in overcoming difficulties associated with overseas transactions through safe, quick and affordable alternatives. Businesses can confidently handle payment in multiple currencies and increase customer contentment with features like competitive exchange rates, reduced costs and strong security measures provided by the platform. The appropriate international payment solutions make managing money more straightforward and create new chances for expansion in the global economy.
