Trade Wizards

With over 190 countries in the world actively involved and regulating trade, it is increasingly complex and time consuming to understand all of the requirements to legally ship to or source from a given country.

And, trade regulations are ever-changing. So even if you have successfully traded with a country in the past, the product classification, duty and tax rates, and regulatory controls such as counter-veiling duties or quotas, or required documents may have changed.

In addition, your customer’s status may have changed and may now be listed on a sanctioned party list. Simply put, if your shipment does not comply, it will be held up at the border and your company will suffer higher costs in terms of inventory, handling and customs fines.

 

Management Dynamics’ Trade Wizards is a Web-based research tool-set that taps into a wealth of trade content from 122 countries. See how it works in our Trade Wizards Tour.

Trade Wizards helps you answer your complex trade questions instantly, in such areas as:

 

Classifying a product in terms of its HS (including complex sets), Export Control Number (ECN), Schedule B, or ALADI using common words or legal definitions. In addition, you can search through a tree view structure to compare related classifications
  Mapping a classification from one country to the corresponding tariff in any other country
  Identifying applicable export controls such as specific licenses, certificates, inspections or permits required to export dual-use or restricted products
 

Identifying applicable import controls such as licenses, permits, certificates, absolute and tariff rate quotas, anti-dumping and countervailing duties
  Screening prospective customers against lists of restricted parties, entities, terrorists, debarred individuals with algorithms based on keyword selection and Soundex 'fuzzy logic'
  Calculating the landed cost for a shipment in terms of duties, excise tax, value-added tax, provincial taxes, profit taxes, statistical taxes, customs fees, port charges and all other import taxes including estimated transportation and insurance costs
