Viewing the ACI Hazardous Goods Search page

The ACI Hazardous Goods Search Page allows you to manage the stored Hazardous Goods Profiles used when entering hazardous material details on ACI shipments in BorderConnect’s ACI eManifest system.

Whenever hazardous information is entered on a commodity, BorderConnect automatically saves it as a reusable profile. Over time, this may result in:

Duplicate UN codes
Incorrect contact details
Outdated handling instructions

This page lets you clean up, correct, and standardize hazardous goods data to ensure faster and more accurate ACI filings.

You can access it from the ACI eManifests menu by selecting Hazardous Goods.

Why manage hazardous goods profiles?

Benefit	Why it helps
Faster shipment entry	Quickly select saved UN codes and contacts
Reduced errors	Fix mistakes once instead of repeatedly
Regulatory clarity	Ensures accurate emergency contact details
Cleaner dropdown lists	Removes duplicates and outdated entries

Adding a new hazardous goods profile

In most workflows, hazardous profiles are created automatically when entered on a shipment. However, you can manually add standardized profiles in advance.

Steps

Click New Hazardous Good
Enter the following details:
- UN Code
- Contact Name
- Contact Phone Number
- Handling Instructions
Click Save

The profile will now be available for quick selection when entering hazardous commodities.

🔖 Saved profiles automatically populate contact and handling fields when selected on a shipment.

Search section

Use the search filters to quickly locate specific hazardous goods profiles.

You can search by:

UN Code
Contact name
Contact phone number

By default, all saved profiles are displayed.

Button	Function
Search	Displays profiles matching your filters
Reset	Clears filters and shows all profiles
Clear	Empties search fields for a new query

Results section

The results list displays all matching hazardous goods profiles along with management tools.

Each row includes:

UN Code
Contact name
Contact phone number
Handling instructions
Edit link
Delete link

Use page arrows if multiple result pages appear.

Edit

Use Edit to correct UN codes, update contact details, or revise handling instructions. Saving applies the updates for future shipments.

Delete

Use Delete to remove duplicate or outdated hazardous goods profiles.

🔖 Deleting a profile does not change historical shipment data. It only affects future selections.

Recommended cleanup workflow

   ↓
Search by UN Code or contact name
