It’s vital for businesses that import and export goods, services, and technology to correctly oversee their global trade and customs compliance. Complex rules and regulations must be effectively navigated to move goods into and out of countries around the world.
Managing global rules and regulations requires that every company conducting international trade has domain-specific expertise. What makes the complexity more challenging is that these rules change constantly, are difficult to interpret, and are sometimes not published, yet require adherence without exception. If you don’t, or if your company makes a mistake, it can result in monetarily significant fines and penalties, you can be banned from importing or exporting, and in some flagrant cases, serve prison time.
Lack of actionable insight into your organization’s supply chain impacts your bottom line. Increasingly, companies need to contend with whether they can manage a 10-25% tariff hit to their margins, and how the evolution and even the disintegration of trade programs will impact the landed cost of commodities and financials. Every single day global businesses are missing revenue targets due to poor planning, inefficiency, and strategic missteps across their global trade operations, hampering their commercial growth.
