The Order Is Ready. Is the Destination?
You’ve found a supplier or secured a new overseas customer. The price works. The delivery schedule looks good.
Then a question comes up: Does the destination country require an import permit? A certificate? Could a quota or additional duty affect the shipment?
Finding those answers late can mean more paperwork, unexpected costs and missed delivery dates. As you add products, suppliers and markets, researching the requirements becomes a bigger job.
Shipping Solutions Import Controls Software helps you identify potentially applicable requirements before your goods are on their way. Give your team a clearer picture of what needs attention—and more time to address it.
Are Import Requirements Catching Your Team by Surprise?
Take a moment to consider:
- Do you research requirements before buying from a new supplier or selling into a new market?
- Are employees searching multiple websites for answers?
- Could permits, certificates or quotas affect your delivery plans?
- Have unexpected requirements caused last-minute work?
- Can you easily retrieve the results of previous checks?
If finding answers takes too long—or happens too late—give your team a more efficient way to prepare.
How Shipping Solutions Helps
- Research your specific shipment. Check requirements using the destination country’s HS classification, countries of import, export and manufacture, and import date.
- Identify potential obstacles. Check for licenses, permits, certificates, prohibitions and quotas.
- Spot additional costs. Identify absolute and tariff rate quotas and antidumping and countervailing duties that could affect your shipment’s cost.
- Focus your follow-up. Color-coded results highlight where controls apply or may apply.
- Understand the requirements. Review supporting notes, regulatory references and the responsible government authority.
- Keep a record of your research. Retrieve previous checks through the software’s audit trail.
Whether you’re sourcing goods or preparing an export, use the results to plan earlier and have more informed conversations with suppliers, customers and customs brokers.
