ACI Hazardous Goods Search Page (ACI eManifest)
|
🔖 This article is part of the BorderConnect Software User Guide |
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- Outdated handling instructions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.
