What problem does it solve?
Navigating international customs regulations, tariff classification rules, and trade agreement requirements is complex and error-prone, leading to costly penalties, missed duty savings, and shipment delays for global importers and exporters.
Core Features & Use Cases
- HS Tariff Classification: Accurately classify goods using Harmonized System General Rules of Interpretation to avoid misclassification penalties.
- Duty Optimization: Identify savings via free trade agreements (USMCA, EU-UK TCA, RCEP), foreign trade zones, and duty drawback programs.
- Restricted Party Screening: Screen all transaction parties against global denied/restricted entity lists to avoid sanctions violations.
- Customs Documentation: Prepare compliant commercial invoices, certificates of origin, ISF filings, and entry summaries for multiple jurisdictions.
- Use Case: A US importer bringing in electronics from Mexico can use this skill to confirm USMCA qualification, calculate regional value content, and prepare the required certification to eliminate 2.6% import duties.
