Dicks Sporting Goods: Import Vendors paid via TradeCard

"Dick’s Sporting Goods is working on a project to enable vendors paid via TradeCard to create their commercial invoice and packing list in TradeCard. The go-live date for this new functionality is scheduled for 4/30/08. Under the new process, vendors will add and validate data elements during the invoice and packing list creation process enabling the TradeCard system to generate and send a commercial invoice and packing list to Dick’s customs broker which will be used for customs clearance. With this new functionality, TradeCard vendors will no longer need to courier documents to Dick’s customs broker (certain restrictions will apply). With the go-live of this project, all TradeCard vendors will be able to invoice multiple PO’s across one invoice in support of Dick’s 1 invoice, 1 packing list, and 1 bill of lading per shipment requirement. Vendors that are not currently set up on e-SPS or EDI to transmit ASN’s are to work towards getting set-up to transmit ASN’s as it will make their document creation process in TradeCard easier and more efficient. In addition, all TradeCard vendors will be required to utilize express release bills of lading effective for all shipments confirmed on board a vessel on or after 4/20/08. Dick’s and TradeCard will send out additional information and instructions as we approach the go-live date of the new functionality. Vendors must continue to follow current documentation flow requirements until further notice. Any questions regarding this new program can be directed to the import traffic department at 724.273.4279 or importtraffic@dcsg.com. Further information is available at http://www.dsgfreight.com/.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc."
