Submitted documents are made available for review by CBP andPartner Government Agencies (PGAs) via the DIS application. DIS will facilitate a single automated gateway that will acceptsupporting documents that may be needed during the cargoimportation and entry summary processes.

DIS Document Transmission MechanismsElectronic Data Interchange (EDI) - The preferred mechanism of document transmission in DIS is via anXML payload transmitted to CBP via any one of three EDI technical mechanisms:1. Secure FTP,2. Secure Web Services, or3. Existing ABI MQ mechanismNote: EDI is of greater value in a fully automated scenario for technically advanced, high volume tradepartners since it is supported by a modern, robust, guaranteed delivery and processing infrastructureEmail - DIS will allow all documents to be transmitted via Email. Associated meta data is sent in Subject line and Body of emailNote: Email is more suitable in scenarios that are ‘Quick-Easy-And-Interim’; Semi-Automated, and LowVolume (total email size including all attachments may not exceed 10MB).Meta-Data - Meta-data is associated data submitted by the trade along with a transmitted document.Meta-data elements are used to: Link the document to supporting contextual data Search for specific documents within DIS Further describe a transmitted document Provide specific transactional references for that document (Entry Summary, Bill, etc.)16
