Messtone Devices Embedding Cross Border Customs Procedures Despacho Previo Despacho Previo,which translates to “pre-cleared” border crossing to eliminate border congession by allowing for the interchange of run-through trains vs.individual cars ultimately expediting southbound shipments.This process provides notifications and visibility to the Freight Forwarders and Mexican borders on cars moving towards the border for on time clearance.The Despacho Previo process also fulfills the Mexico Customs requirement that all proper paperwork has been filed, and presented/processed/delivered to Mexican Customs in advance of border crossing.Via an online tool soon to be launched, KCS will be able to provide information such as clearance deadline dates and document delay balances as well as provide an online payment feature via BMO Harris Bank to expedite the payment for any document delay balance that may be due.Here is a quick preview of the Despacho Previo Southbound process scenarios exc~CAR RELEASE FROM ORIGIN Step1: BOL/EDI Transmission Bill of Lading Information Send from Customer->EDI Transmitted to Business Partners->KCS/KCSM Receives/Generate 404&Transmitts EDI to Business Partners->Railroads Customs Brokers FW,XR-> SHIPMENT I ROUTE Step2: Notification&Clearance Processes Brokers are Notified Automatically to Start the Clearance Process->Customs, Receives,Processes,Approves Shipment to Cross->KCS/KCSM Receives Automatic Notification the Clearance->ARRIVAL TO THE BORDER AND CROSSING Srep3:Train Approval to Cross KCS/KCSM Releases Car Automatically to Cross When Shipment Cleared within Free time->Train is Offered to Customs for Approval to Cross->TrainCrosses the Border&Moves to Final Destination
