Optional Hurricane Services Data Cleansing Checks Available on Shipment Creation

The Hurricane services Item Verification, Prohibited Items and Denied Parties checks can now be configured to run as part of the shipment creation process. For these checks to run, Hurricane services will first need to be enabled on the customer’s account. The customer will then need to enable each check individually in the Hurricane integration screen. Once a Hurricane service has been enabled, Sapient will automatically run that data check each time a dutiable international shipment is created.

If the Hurricane Item Verification check is enabled, then customers can view details of the HS Code and Item Description changes made by Hurricane from the Shipment Processing screen and choose whether to accept or reject the changes. If the customer chooses to revert to the original values, they can re-print customs documents to ensure this contains the correct data.

Note: The Hurricane data checks can also be completed outside of the shipment creation process by calling the Hurricane Services APIs – see the API Reference section for more details.
