Copa uses CHAMP Traxon Global Customs

Copa Airlines has expanded its relationship with CHAMP Cargosystems to use the Traxon Global Customs (TGC) ahead of advanced customs filings becoming compulsory in Brazil.

The TGC solution allows mandatory customs information to be transmitted quickly and efficiently, in the correct format of the respective authority.

The system helps prevent delays or fines caused by missing or incorrect information across more than 60 customs authorities in a single interface.

Jaime Alvarez, Senior Director of Cargo at Copa Airlines, says, “CHAMP’s compliance solution has already been essential to our global shipping services and saved us many hours of work and prevented potential delays. Adding its TGC solution to our Brazil hub early - during the pilot phase - will enable us to benefit immediately when electronic customs filing becomes compulsory for Brazil.”

Nicholas Xenocostas, VP Commercial and Customer Engagement at CHAMP, adds, “Our TGC solution provides Copa with continuous, on-time communication with worldwide customs authorities, and we are excited to bring this to the Brazil market.”
