ExportDoc Worldwide v. 6.1 Update No. 87 Release Date: 06/26/2020 1. ExportDoc has been re-tooled for the transition to the USMCA trade agreement. The following changes have been made: a.) All references to NAFTA have been removed and replaced, where applicable, with references to the United States-Canada-Mexico (USMCA) Trade Agreement. References to USMCA throughout the application will be dependent on the location where the software is installed: in the U.S. the references are "United States - Canada - Mexico" (USMCA); in Canada, "Canada - United States - Mexico" (CAUSM), and in Mexico, "Mexico - United States - Canada" (MUSCA). b.) The NAFTA document has been removed and replaced with a similar document. Please note that the USMCA does not prescribe a specifc document, but rather allows for any document to be used, as long as it includes certain elements, the specifics of which can be found on the reverse of the document. In previous iterations of NAFTA, a form was prescribed and permission could be sought as to its validity, which is currently not the case. We have striven, as best we could, to conform to the documentary requirement of the USMCA. However, feedback with respect any issues that may arise would be most appreciated. c.) The catalogue has been modified to accomodate origin criteria, which are now 'A,B,C,D i,D ii,D iii.' e.) The Combination Form 1 has been removed.

The Packaging Code value was defaulting to the first in the list regardless of whether it was selected when the item was edited. 3.

ExportDoc Worldwide v. 6.1 Upgrade No. 5 Release Date: 09/10/2018 A major change has been made to the application warranting, we believe, a minor increment of the version number to 6.1. 1. The grid portion of the worksheet has been expanded to display all product/item data elements similar to the catalog: general description, hazmat, NAFTA, textiles and imports. The presentation is in tabbed format allowing the user to view and edit all of the item's details. The individual tabs will be enabled if the related documents are active such as NAFTA, air or ocean dangerous goods etc. 2. Given that an item's HS code can vary depending on the country of destination, an alternate HS code option based on shipment's destination has been added to the catalog.

The choice of code displayed in state/province and country (Long, Short, Both) in File>Setup>General will govern how all codes are displayed throughout the application. You may however change the display of any such field in any given document.

The ability to compare entries in the addressbook against the Denied Persons List (DPL) of the Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. Department of Commerce http://www.bis.doc.gov has been added. After the name of the individual or company has been entered into the addressbook, select the entry in the folder section, and either click the Denied button in the button bar or rightclick>Denied, and ExportDoc will download the most recent version of the list and compare it to the entry. The list, dpl.txt, is placed in the main [drive:]\Ed\ folder and as such, ExportDoc must be granted internet access to perform this task. ExportDoc uses a loose comparison algorithm, and if a match is found, a prompt will appear to print a report. Reports matching output types selected in File>Setup>Output will be printed/created and placed in the [drive:]\Ed\Graphics\Reports folder. Please note that while the DPL file contains the known variations of names on the list, it is by no means comprehensive, so it is always good business practice to 'know your customer.' ExportDoc Worldwide v. 5.2 Update No.47 Release Date: 04/31/2012 1. U.S. - Korea Free Trade document has been added. 2. Improvements have been made to the import documents, Canada (B3, CCI and FTA's) component. Specifically, the B3 will now create all appropriate sub-headers (page(s)) based on country-of-origin data in the worksheet, and will also identify the appropriate trade agreement value. Free trade agreement documents such as the NAFTA certificate of origin (CO), will now filter non-relevant records relating to goods and non-applicable country of origin. Changes have also been made to the catalog to accomodate the new features. See Help>Features>Imports, Canada for details. ExportDoc Worldwide v. 5.2 Update No.46 Release Date: 01/31/2012 1.

ExportDoc Worldwide v. 5.2 Update No.44a Release Date: 07/14/2011 1. The U.S.-Chile FTA form has been amended to prevent the french text from appearing. ExportDoc Worldwide v. 5.2 Update No.44 Release Date: 06/7/2011 1. The way ExportDoc stores and displays graphic logos and signatures has changed. Previously, ExportDoc stored the contents of the graphic file (logo and signature) directly in a field of a datafile record. This method has become problematic over time with different versions of Windows and different graphic cards. At times, it would only display the file name and not the actual contents. ExportDoc will now store only the reference (path) to the location of the file itself. It is therefore important that the files used for logos and signatures are located in a stable location. Our goal in this change was to minimize the disruption to our customers. We have attempted to retain the contents of the existing fields and have them converted to a separate file whose reference replaced the graphic field in the data record, but were unsuccessful where it came to consistency. So unfortunately, users will have to manually re-enter their graphic logos and signatures. It's fairly quick and easy, just follow the instructions below. For company logos, go to the Addressbook, select the appropriate company in the Exporters group, rightclick, Details and in the Notes tab and click the Select button. Using the Open dialog, navigate to the logo graphic file. Please note the filetype dropdown should match the type of file of the logo graphic; BMP, JPG, GIF and Icon types are supported. For best results use type bitmap (BMP) no bigger than 350 X 200 pixels. Click Apply, then in the Company tab, click the Set As Default Party button. In a multi-user environment, this action must be performed for every user, since ExportDoc allows for multiple user profiles and multiple shipper/exporter identities. For signatures, go to the Addressbook, select the appropriate company in the Exporters group, rightclick, Details and in the Contact tab, place the cursor in the appropraite record then click the Select button. Using the Open dialog, navigate to the signature graphic file. Please note the filetype dropdown should match the type of file of the signature graphic; BMP, JPG, GIF and Icon types are supported. When complete, uncheck/check the Default checkbox next to the appropriate name, then click the Apply button. Finally, in the Company tab, click the Set As Default Party button. In a multi-user environment, this action must performed for every user since ExportDoc allows for multiple user profiles. For those who may not feel uncomfortable performing this operation, we would be happy to do it for you on-line remotely at no charge. Just contact us at 800-764-4472. Please have your logo and signature files available. Again, we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. 2. The Direct Collection Letter (DCL) document has been added. It can be found in the International Documents section. As an amalgam of several banks' DCL documents, it can be used for most direct collections. It enables/disables the appropriate controls depending on whether it's an ocean or air shipment. Click on the blue title text in the port box to toggle between type of shipment. ExportDoc Worldwide v. 5.2 Update No.43b Release Date: 04/20/2011 1. HS code tables and invalid HS code tables have been updated. ExportDoc Worldwide v. 5.2 Update No.43a Release Date: 04/07/2011 1.

This document reflects the prevailing requirements of the industry, as there appear to be various 'flavours' of this form. Please note that we will be adding the MULTIMODAL DANGEROUS GOODS FORM that the carriers are moving towards. Note: Due to several changes in the table that stores default values and field linkages, it unfortunately requires replacement. Any default and/or linkage changes will be lost. Our apologies for any inconvenience. ExportDoc Worldwide v. 5.2 Update No.43 Release Date: 03/17/2011 1. Cursor was disappearing after closing the HS codes form in the properties sheet of the catalog. 2. Background line item colour has been changed to black. 3.

All current subscription holders will be entitled to receive the upgrade at no charge. The upgrade will consist of the updating of many of the application's underlying tools and components to enhance Windows XP compatibility, along with some new features. Prominent among these features will be the ability to create documents in MS Word and MS Excel formats, JPG and GIF images, merged PDF files, and Excel data files which can then be sent to your broker for pre-clearance. Also included is a scheduler/reminder tool to schedule system maintenance and notify users of important dates or events, and an active updating function much like that found in anti-virus applications. 1. The "ExportDocPdfDriver" printer driver has been removed because it was problematic, especially in XP Pro and terminal services. It has been replaced with a separate conversion application. Benefits are the user can now output documents to JPG, GIF (Default), PDF, MS Word and MS Excel formats. The PDF format now merges multiple pages of the same document into one file. In order to create MS Word documents and MS Excel spreadsheets, you MUST have MS Office 2003 or higher installed on the respective workstation. Note that due to the complexity of some of the documents, and depending on the speed of your computer, the conversion process may take a few minutes for each type selected. These changes also apply to the print functions in the Addressbook and Catalogue. The email function has been updated to reflect these changes. During the print cycle, the mousepointer morphs into the output type as an indicator. Settings are in File>Setup>Output and details are available in the updated on-line Help, Main Menu>File>Setup>Output. 2. A Schedule/Reminder function has been added. See on-line help Main Menu>Utilities>Schedule for details. 3. The Fedex International Waybill has been added. It requires a dot-matrix printer. 4. You will now be prompted to copy product details to bill of lading, commercial and manifest type documents. See on-line help Main Menu>Options>Update for details. 5. There have been further refinements to the dangerous goods documents and the section of the catalog that deals with them. Specifically, the format of the Subsidiary Risk field has been changed to give the user the ability to enclose the values in parentheses that are then added to the Class or Division value. For example, entering 2.2 in the Class or Division field of the catalog, and (5.1) in the Subsidiary Risk field produces 2.2 (5.1) in the respective document column. This appears to be the generally accepted approach to completing these documents. The unit of measure (UM) has been expanded to 30 characters to accomodate a fuller description in that column. 6. For Livingston customers, ExportDoc now supports eLink on-line document filing. To do so, proceed as follows: 1. Complete the worksheet. 2. Print to an Excel spreadsheet (Settings are in File>Setup>Output). 3. Email the document to Livingston. There are however, some formalities to be completed in advance. Contact Livingston to set up an account. 7. The Add/Delete line item record buttons, which used to be at the left of the body of the document, have migrated to the Action Toolbar and can be around the screen. 8.

You can now navigate to a text file to use as an email message in Setup>Mail. 10. Weight values now convert correctly from LBS to KGS when passing data 11. The ability to add users if the DEFAULT user was deactivated has been fixed. 12. The container form (Utilities, Containers) has been expanded with additional fields and the ability to determine what data is posted to documents.
