Electronic Payment System
An EDI Solution for the Importers

Concerned about the delays and errors in Bank Payment transmissions?


Staying ahead of your competitors is not an easy task, especially when you barely have the time with all the paperwork in front of you. And if you belong to the Customs trading community, meeting the bank's cut-off time for the remittance of payment for Customs duties and taxes and eliminating delays in the release of goods from port operators and warehouses are major challenges facing importers. The result: a high landed-cost of import goods due to extra man-hours for processing payments, additional messengerial services, demurrage and storage charges, and other miscellaneous costs. Face it: Time is of essence. And the longer you take getting your business done, the more it's going to cost you.

The CWS ePay is the solution - a software that allows you to receive copies of Customs Final Assessment and approved Import Entry Declaration and transmit payment instruction to your depository bank - electronically.


The CWS ePay works in tandem with the IC.Payments system which is installed in the bank premises to receive your payment instruction, debit your account based on Customs Final Assessment and immediately transmit the Payment Advise (PAS4) to Customs Cash Division, to trigger the transmission of the OLRS Release Instruction to the warehouse operators.

The CWS ePay was developed by InterCommerce Network Services, Inc. for the Importers, to further streamline the Customs clearances processes; thus, enabling companies to be more competitive.
