Automated Broker Interface

The Automated Broker Interface (ABI) is a system used in the United States that allows customs brokers to electronically submit import and export data to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). This process streamlines the movement of goods across borders by enabling faster processing and communication. By using ABI, customs brokers can easily report cargo information, track shipments, and ensure compliance with laws, which helps reduce delays and improve trade efficiency. In essence, ABI modernizes and simplifies the way businesses interact with customs authorities.
