EAGAN, Minn. - (April 30, 2008) - NWA Cargo has launched a View Customs Status feature on the Cargo Portal Services (CPS) booking engine that gives customers 24/7 access to various customs related processes and information.

The new Customs Status function allows customers to:

• Complete the customs clearance process without waiting for the NWA paperwork
• Check if shipments have cleared customs
• Find the in transit (in-bond) movement number, port of arrival, and split information without delay or need to call a NWA representative

CPS users can access the Customs Status feature on the CPS homepage (www.cargoportalservices.com) by selecting View Customs Status from the Manage Shipments drop-down menu.
