← Back to Customs Manual ← Back to Main Menu

Overview

Use the Maintenance Menu to manage master data, code tables (ports, carriers, FIRMS, SCAC, ISO, etc.), and supporting reference data used across Customs Brokerage. The print options provide quick, print-ready lists for audits, operations, and validation.

Changes here immediately impact data validation and lookups throughout the system (entries, invoices, ABI transmissions). Grant access to authorized users only.
