Management Dynamics Inc. has enhanced its Global Trade Management (GTM) Suite to support the "10+2" Rule, proposed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). This rule will require 10 sets of data from importers 24 hours prior to container loading for vessel departure and two sets of data from ocean carriers no later than 48 hours after vessel departure, as a means to improve the high-risk targeting of inbound containers for protecting U.S. borders from terrorist attacks. GTM Suite will extend import business processes to suppliers, forwarders and brokers, and provide the information backbone to collect, organize and report the key data elements in support of the new 10+2 ruling. www.managementdynamics.com
