Chemical

Chemical distributors and manufacturers experience increased scrutiny when moving goods across international borders. Faced with complex government regulations, chemical companies are seeking new ways to streamline operational processes without increasing the costs and risks associated with cross-border transactions.

Challenge
With increased focus on homeland security, chemical products and byproducts can be delayed at borders due to inaccurate documentation, product classification or reporting requirements. Changes to regulations issued by Chemical Weapons Convention, HAZMAT, DEA and TSCA occur more frequently and the ability to track changes and ensure compliance is costly and fraught with error.
