The process of submitting the request for permits to the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources (DAWR) has undergone numerous changes. Earlier, the exporters had to apply for export permits using paper-based forms. Being very time-consuming, this process had a risk of a high number of human errors. So, the issues were addressed with the help of export documentation software tools. The DAWR also made it simple by launching its EXDOC platform for electronic documentation. Today, it is possible to follow the process simply using a web browser. Find out how.
The Answer Lies in Cloud
Cloud computing has further made the export documentation process absolutely simple and much faster than before. Here’s how you can use cloud solutions to enjoy many benefits:
- Subscribe to a cloud-based export documentation software. The benefit of doing it is that you don’t need to install any expensive software on your office computer. It further saves you from the costs of updating and maintaining the software.
- You can log in to the software using a compatible web browser on a computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone. You would need a good internet connection for it.
- Use the software to submit the request for export permits by connecting to the DAWR’s EXDOC system. You must be registered with the EXDOC system as an exporter or an EDI user for this.
- You may also use the process to apply for Health/Phytosanitary Certificates and other trade documents to the DAWR.
What Are Its Advantages?
Cost-saving is the prime advantage of using a cloud solution. There are software vendors that don’t enforce their clients to buy the whole solution packages. You can buy only the required application based on your export documentation needs. However, it is better to use the complete packages for preparing other important documents like export declaration numbers, certificates of origin, commercial invoices, packing lists, bill of lading and more.
The process is completely secure as it follows the cloud and data security protocols. You can also track the progress in real time and immediately respond to the DAWR in case it demands evidence and more information before processing your application. The export documentation using a web browser is indeed a boon for the export businesses.
